Sound
|
Great sound and volume for an open-back banjo. I have another banjo with a heavy brass tone ring. It has great sound, but is very heavy. I am not dissapointed in the sound of the Goodtime. |

Setup

JDMC did a great job on the setup. I had them put a Bart Veerman bridge on it. |

Reliability

The dove-tail head joint scares me a little bit, but as long as it doesn't come off, I'm happy. |

Just got my Goodtime banjo yesterday, and I am lovin' it. Great sound and volume. I especially like the weight. At 4 lbs. I can pick it up with one hand without effort. It makes banjo playing fun. |
