Deering GOODTIME Americana openback 5-String
Item No. : 204343
The specialist's opinion
The Goodtime Americana is Deering's most affordable 5-string banjo with a 12" barrel, offering more powerful bass response and a considerably warmer sound than standard models.
This richness of sound is enhanced by a 12" Renaissance skin, which not only enhances the instrument's natural aesthetics, but also perfectly complements its warm, round tone.
Made in the USA, this model reflects Deering's ongoing commitment to offering American-made banjos offering the best value for money.
Designed for traditional "old time" playing, the Americana takes its inspiration from the historic banjos with large barrels that were widespread in the past. Unlike a traditional 11" banjo with white skin (which is brighter and more incisive), this 12" model offers a soft, laid-back sound, ideal for accompanying a voice or other instrument, rather than taking on a main melodic role.
Rediscover the tradition and sonic warmth of the banjo with the Goodtime Americana. An excellent choice for musicians looking for an enveloping, authentic and inspiring sound.
