Deering Goodtime 5-String Openback Banjo

American-made, easy to play, and awesome. The Goodtime banjo produces a vibrant ringing tone from its natural finished violin grade maple rim and neck. At only 4 pounds, the weight makes it ideal for both children and adults to play and to travel with conveniently. As a teacher and player, I highly recommend this instrument to anyone interested in banjos.
