Now with a featuring the new Grand 12" Rim, this banjo is perfect for old time clawhammer banjoists.

The wider 12" rim brings out more bass response and truly gives a great old time banjo tone when paired with the fiberskyn head.

Featuring a scooped neck to ease playing over the fingerboard.

We build in a traditional "scoop″ that allows more room for the fingers and thumb of the right hand to pluck the strings over the fingerboard.

Add this Deering Leather Banjo Strap that fits Artisan and Good Time banjo's for $29.The vast majority of leather straps do not fit behind the brackets of a Good Time or Artisan Banjo.
