Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

The Deering Goodtime 19-Fret Tenor Banjo is a beautifully approachable instrument that combines classic tenor banjo character with the thoughtful craftsmanship and playability Deering is known for. Its three-ply violin-grade maple rim and rock maple neck provide a lively, resonant foundation, while the 11" frosted high-crown head delivers the bright, articulate response that makes tenor banjos so enjoyable to play. A 23" scale length and comfortable 1 3/16" nut width create an inviting feel across all 19 frets, whether you're exploring traditional jazz, Irish melodies, or adding a distinctive voice to acoustic arrangements. Art Deco-inspired hardwood inlays bring a touch of vintage elegance, complemented by bronze-finished hardware and a matching armrest. Weighing just 3 lbs. 14 oz. and arriving with a hardshell case, this Goodtime is ready to inspire plenty of musical exploration!
