PLAYABILITY
The Goodtime banjo has a slender low profile neck that is easy to finger
and comfortable for large and small hands. The high quality rock maple
wood contributes to the bright sparkling sound of the Goodtime banjo. This
hard, dense wood is also very strong and stable. The fret work is accurate
and precise to ensure accurate intonation over the entire fingerboard.
ADJUSTABILITY
The single coordinator rod in the pot easily and effectively adjusts the
playability so that the strings are close to the fingerboard and are easy
to press down. This allows the beginner and the professional to adjust the
action (height of the strings) to their own particular style. All five
tuners are geared and easy to tune. The tailpiece is extremely strong and
easily adjustable to maximize tone by raising or lowering it.
LIGHT WEIGHT
The Goodtime banjo weighs about 4 pounds so it is light enough for
children to hold and play and is ideal for traveling, camping, hiking,
taking to the beach and provides a vibrant singing banjo tone in any
situation.
The Pot is 11 inch diameter and is the standard size. This means
replacement heads are easy to find.
TONE
The multi-ply pot is made of violin grade maple. This wood is hard and dense and contributes to the bright crisp sound of the Goodtime banjo.
Professional musicians have told us that the Goodtime banjo has such clear
and accurate intonation and the tone is so full, bright and clear, that
they would not hesitate to perform with it on stage. Though it is a low
priced banjo, the use of professional grade woods and the careful fitting
and design of the parts give the Goodtime banjo a musical tone that has
many of the qualities demanded by professional banjoists and entertainers.
With its sparkling and sweet sound it is fun to learn and play and
enjoyable for family members to listen to while the student is learning.
WARRANTY
The Goodtime banjo is made in the U.S.A. and comes with a six year warranty. The Goodtime banjo is easy to play, handy, rugged, easy to
adjust and has a sparkling tone comparable or superior to other brands of
banjos costing three times as much.
