The best beginner banjo!

As a teacher, if you are just starting to learn how to play the banjo, I would always recommend the Deering Goodtime banjo. This blonde beauty is the perfect banjo to learn on and sets the standard for all others in its price range. The 3-ply violin grade maple rim gives the banjo a beautiful responsive tone which is not found in other banjo brands in this price point.

Comes set up and ready to play! Free shipping with the contiguous United States!

The Deering Goodtime banjo is the ideal choice for beginner banjo players. Its 3-ply violin grade maple rim provides a superior sound that can't be matched in entry-level banjos.

At just over 4 lbs., the Goodtime Banjo is ideal for traveling, hiking, taking to the beach, or wherever you're ready to pick a few tunes! If you are buying a banjo for someone who is just starting out, then this is the banjo to get.

Great first banjo

The banjo sounds great and is fun to play. It was packed very well and perfectly setup. It's light without the resonator and great if you're just starting out with banjo playing.

A revelation for my playing

I love this banjo so much. I've been learning on a gorgeous vintage instrument my dad got me on eBay years ago. It sounds amazing but it is so heavy I dread playing it. I promised myself I'd wait til I was really sure I'd use another banjo if I got it. Well, I'm playing more than ever before. The instrument stays in pitch surprisingly well, its so light and easy to play I just love it. And of course, it sounds great.
