Deering Goodtime Special with Patented Goodtime Tone Ring & resonator

Deering Goodtime Special with Patented Goodtime Tone Ring & resonator

When you see the word ‘Special’, it means that the banjo features our patented Goodtime Special Tone Ring giving the banjo a more powerful and brighter tone. This banjo is perfect for anyone who loves the Goodtime vibe of natural maple but wants to add a bit more kick to their tone.

The newly Patented Goodtime Special Tone Ring designed by Deering produces a powerfully crisp, bright, sparkling tone, a considerable step up in tone from the original tone ring that was featured on our Goodtime Special banjos. The volume of tone is a wonderful surprise to players. If you're looking for a banjo with good volume and tone, and prefer to keep the cost as low as possible, then this is the banjo for you.
