Enter to win a Goodtime openback banjo from our friends at Deering!
Handmade by Deering in the USA, Goodtimes are very popular because of their light weight (only 4 pounds!), easy-playing feel and low price. The Goodtime has a standard 11" head, a slender, fast-playing rock maple neck, and violin-grade maple rim.
This is the world's largest, most active banjo community. Established in 2000, the Banjo Hangout features forums, classifieds, and a massive library of free banjo tabs, MP3s and videos.
Built for banjo players, by banjo players. This is where the banjo world hangs out!
