The Patent Pending Goodtime Special Tone Ring is
a new feature released in 2010 on the Goodtime Special banjo. Designed
by Deering, the new Goodtime Special tone ring produces a louder,
sweeter bell tone, a considerable step up in tone from the original tone
ring that was featured on our Goodtime Special banjos. The volume of
tone is a wonderful surprise to players who pick up this unassuming
Goodtime Special banjo to find a real prize. If you’’re looking for a
banjo with good volume and tone, and prefer to keep the cost as low as
possible, then this is the banjo for you. This banjo will perform well
in a jam session or band setting, feel comfortable, fret correctly, and
be a stable instrument you can play for years to come.
