The Deering Goodtime Leader Parlor is a higher specification than the standard Goodtime Parlor banjo. It is an excellent shorter scale 19 fret open back banjo with a rock maple neck set up for playing all styles, it is lightweight and easy to handle and carry for travelling if needed. Each banjo we supply is individually set up in our on-site Banjo Specialist Workshop here at Eagle Music. Any Banjo purchased from Eagle will be fully SET UP, checked for intonation and playability and tuned ready for playing straight out of the box! Goodtime Parlor Specification: The sound from this banjo is incredible! The three ply violin maple rim is the same quality as found on pre war Mastertone banjos. The Goodtime Parlor is just plain cute... It is tuned in G just the same as a 22 fret banjo, but it is 4 inches shorter with only 19 frets. Great for teaching youngsters to play! Get them started early with a banjo they can manage and you give them a lifetime of enjoyment playing the banjo.
