Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos in 1996 because there were no low priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. He remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so his gift to others is the Goodtime banjo line. Designed for success, the Goodtime banjos are the lowest priced American made banjos. They are so good many professionals have recorded with a Goodtime. If you want a great low priced banjo for learning, travel and leisure that plays correctly and is durable, this is the best buy on the market!
