Deering Goodtime Two 17-Fret Irish Tenor Banjo
The Goodtime Two 17-Fret Irish Tenor Banjo with wood back resonator is tuned like an octave mandolin (G,D,A,E). This makes it an easy transition for a mandolin or fiddle player. Since it is tuned to the same notes they can easily pick it up and know where the notes are, read the music or tablature used, and adapt to playing the 17 fret irish tenor banjo quickly.
The Deering Goodtime two Irish 17 fret tenor banjo is American made and constructed of maple. It is lighter in weight with a clear tone that is warm and resonant. Because this model has a resonator it is louder than the open back model. With a neck that has been precisely fretted for intonation accuracy and a comfortable neck profile, you will find yourself playing this banjo for hours.

We can install the Good Time Armrest on the Goodtime 17 Fret Irish Tenor Banjo!
The Goodtime 17 fret Irish tenor does not come with the armrest like the more expensive Goodtime 2 does. We came up with a solution! We can install it for you for just the normal discount price of the armrest when we set the banjo up! See the options to choose the armrest below.
Add this Deering Leather Banjo Strap that fits Artisan and Good Time banjo's for $34. The vast majority of leather straps do not fit behind the brackets of a Good Time or Artisan Banjo.

The Banjo Cruise Workshop is held in a large private conference room that is essentially sound proof and separate from all other passengers. The workshop takes place during the days we are at sea so you can visit all ports and still have plenty of time for fun with your spouse, family or friends while on the cruise.
