Made in America at the Deering Banjo factory in California, the Goodtime Erin openback banjo weighs about 4 pounds so it is ideal for taking to the session, traveling, camping, hiking or even taking to the beach! This banjo provides a vibrant singing banjo tone in any situation. Also, light enough to easily hold and play and is the perfect banjo to start out with since it is fretted correctly and plays easily.
Tuned in 5ths to GDAE for Irish music, this banjo is a great crossover instrument for string players! As one customer put it "Really great instrument with a great build quality and a lovely loud and rich tone. It is a delight to play with its short scale fretboard, slim neck and lighter weight body. I chose the Irish GDAE tuning so that I can use the chords and tunes already learnt on the mandolin and am able to play it with just a little more of a stretch and a bit more movement of the old fingers! I'm well impressed and can strongly recommend one of these lovely American made banjos".
At Eagle Music we set up each Erin banjo with the correct gauge strings for playing Irish music in GDAE tuning. Also at the set-up stage, We set the action and intonation ...We tune each banjo before dispatch.
The heart of the Goodtime Banjo is the three ply violin maple rim producing an exceptional bright warm tone...It is built with excellent quality nickel hardware and the Rock Maple neck sets up with a fast action.
The ever popular Deering Goodtime Erin Banjo has a rock maple neck and construction that provides you with stability at a great price; it has amazing volume and quality of tone.
The 3 ply rim is built from solid violin maple. The rim diameter is 279.40mm (11”) and a thickness of 14.28mm (9/16”). The solid violin maple rim also acts as the tone ring and produces a bright, clear, and warm sound. 16 bracket hooks are fitted to give even tension on the tension hoop. The tailpiece is a Deering silent type that accepts loop-ended string. All metal work is nickel plated to a high standard. The Deering mylar smooth top head is fitted along with an ebony tipped 15.87mm (5/8”) maple bridge. The solid violin maple rim is natural satin finished.
The fast action rock maple neck is attached to the pot assembly with a lag bolt and coordinating rim rod, which give you the player the facility to alter the action should you ever need to do so. The neck is constructed from solid rock maple. The headstock had beautiful Celtic inlays to give you the presence of a unique Irish tenor banjo. The fingerboard is inlaid with black Bow Tie inlays to suit the black side dot markers. The nickel silver fretwork is perfectly positioned, rounded and polished for smooth playing.
The nut is precisely cut and filed for a comfortable string action at the first position.
