Deering Tenor Goodtime Openback Banjo, 17 Frets
$499
sku: TGOOD17
Weighing about 4 pounds, this openback banjo is ideal for traveling, camping, hiking, or taking to the beach. The shorter 17 fret neck reduces the length of the entire banjo to just 32" end to end. Tuned like an Irish tenor banjo -- G,D,A,E, an octave lower than a mandolin. Can also be tuned in fifths like a cello (C,G,D,A), making it a great crossover instrument for string players!
