Good Time Artisan Junior Banjo - Travel and Children Size 5-String Banjo

The Deering Artisan parlor banjo makes a great travel banjo and also the perfect size for children to learn on. Its shorter length can still be tuned to open G tuning for bluegrass..

The stunning new Artisan Goodtime banjo embodies Greg Deering’s lifelong vision for the Deering Banjo Company – to make the best sounding, best playing, best looking, and best value U.S.A. made banjo that he possibly could. It is a never ending quest that Deering pursues every single day. So with improved tooling and a higher than normal dose of creativity, we bid farewell to our old friend the Classic Goodtime and welcome with open arms the stunning aesthetic of the new Artisan Goodtime Banjos.

The familiar rich dark brown stain, planetary tuning pegs and the addition of 5th string spikes at frets 7, 9, 10 for alternate tunings allows this light weight maple banjo to exceed the features customers wanted and needed. The violin-grade maple rim is made of the same wood used on the professional level Deering models and gives the Goodtime banjo a rich, full, round note distinction. Lightweight enough to travel with, convenient enough to keep by your easy chair at home, the Goodtime Artisan is great for hours of practice with a neck that is both comfortable to play and accurate to fret. This Goodtime banjo is not only beautiful to look at but will bring you hours of musical enjoyment.
The Goodtime does not come with the armrest like the more expensive Goodtime 2 does. We came up with a solution! We can install it for you for just the price of the armrest when we set the banjo up! See the options to choose the armrest below.

Great Little Banjo
I ordered this banjo because we are on the road a lot and I had a super cheapo banjo that I played in the truck during our treks across Texas. I didn't have huge expectations honestly, thinking it was going to definitely be better than what I had been using but couldn't be that great, right? Oh my gosh I was so wrong in that assumption. This really is a great little banjo, I highly recommend it. I have not put it down since it came in. It's so much fun to play and a quality instrument. Shipping was super fast, I only had to do some minor tuning and it was ready to play right out of the box. Thank you Ross and crew, I am so happy with my purchase.

this is one great little banjo
Ross, just want to thank you for all of your help with the Deering Good Time Artisan Junior I ordered last week. Thanks to you it shipped on Thursday and delivered on Saturday. Unbelievable. Also this is one great little banjo. I can see many happy hours ahead playing it. Also the free gifts you send makes this the best package offered anywhere on purchasing a new banjo. Your competitors should take lessons from your company and you personally on customer service. You go more than the extra mile. Thank you for making this purchase an excellent experience. You have a customer for life. Stan Lanier

The customer service and your company are amazing.
Hello Mr. Nickerson, The Banjo arrived today in perfect condition. The Deering Artisan Jr. is the perfect practice and travel instrument. Is is much lighter than my other two Deering banjos and has the same wonderful sound of a full size banjo. I can't thank you enough for reaching out concerning manufacturing and shipping delays resulting from COVID 19. The customer service and your company are amazing. I felt so valued as a customer and that is rare these days. I am more inspired than ever to explore claw hammer technique and old time music. Once again, thanks for a wonderful purchasing experience.-Ireta

Deering Goodtime Artisan Parlor Banjo
Hi Ross, Thanks for your great service. I've had this banjo several months now and it goes with me everywhere. I travel a lot and this is the perfect banjo for taking on the plane with me. It's very light and the gig bag that comes with it protects it very well. While I always try to put it in the closet up front, sometimes the flight attendants ask me to put it in the overhead. A few times some "brute" passengers try to jam their bags on top or into it but the banjo and bag has always held up very well. I play this banjo in the hotel room (lightly of course as to not bother other folks) and it helps me to be able to practice while on the road. I tune it to open G and it works fine. It does need to be re-tuned more often than my Deering Sierra but that may be due to the temperature extremes I subject it to.I highly recommend this banjo to anyone that needs a smaller banjo for travel.
