Mantova's Two Street Music proudly carries Deerings' Goodtime Banjo Series.  As Deering says:

THE GOODTIME BANJOS ARE THE LOWEST PRICED AMERICAN MADE BANJOS.  THEY ARE SO ACCURATE, MANY PROFESSIONALS HAVE RECORDED WITH GOODTIME BANJOS. THE GOODTIME TWO BANJO IS ENHANCED FOR MORE PROJECTION OF SOUND BY INCLUDING THE BACK OF THE BANJO, CALLED A RESONATOR, WHICH PROJECTS THE SOUND TO THE AUDIENCE.. THIS IS THE BEST BUY ON THE MARKET!

1.  DEERING GOODTIME SMILE BRIDGE

The responsive sensitivity of the maple, with the hard, dense ebony top contributes to the Goodtime banjos clear, resonant responsiveness.

2.  QUIET TAILPIECE

Specially selected metal is used to prevent the tailpiece from making “its own sound” and muddying up the banjo’s tone. The violin maple rim is supposed to sing, not your tailpiece.

3.  STABILITY ENHANCING J-HOOKS

The proprietary Deering J-hooks are wider at the top to prevent twisting off the tension hoop when tightening the banjo head.

6.  SEALED GEARED TUNERS

Five high quality geared tuning machines make tuning the Goodtime banjo easy, accurate and fun. Too many student banjos are cursed with poor quality tuners, so the students blame themselves for an out of tune banjo when it’s the tuner that is at fault.

7.  ROCK MAPLE NECK

This fine grained, dense, extremely hard, wood creates a stable neck, and imparts a bright, crisp quality to the Goodtime banjo tone.
