This is THE banjo

prior 19.06.2018

This is the banjo you are looking for. Nothing to do with that just changing the strings (i prefer irish tuning so a different set of string) and it was ready to play.
Really impressed with the quality of the built, the neck feels great and it stays in tune perfectly even when you want play the hell out of it and sounds just like you want it to sound: an original tenor banjo. Is a very astonishing looking piece. Not really any cons about SO Thomann congrats, another HIT!
Came in a box with no damage and well protected.
I will certainly return here to buy it again.

Excellent instrument

Skylark8 05.01.2021

I am a plugged instruments player, having a collection of about 40 instruments like guitars, lutes and mandolins, most or them really high quaility and custom made. I whanted an affortable price quality banjo to use for recordings and concerts. This is an elegant instrument that looks and sounds professional. It keeps the tuning and the sound is silky. I like to deal with it regularly! Undoubtedly recommented and thank you Thomann!

Deering Goodtime Openback Tenor Banjo

Lray 26.05.2017

This is a great quality and great sounding 4string banjo, and its perfect right out the box. I use it in my studio for recording and i can't believe how great banjo is for price. The best price is ofcourse in Thomann.
I would like to have a case or even a gig bag with this banjo, so you must buy an extra one.

american pride (c'est marqué dessus)

Résultat assez surprenant dans cette gamme de prix ! Léger et facile à jouer, cordes moyen tirant, son 'open back' = old time, sympa, vraiment. Le bois d'érable donne un toucher velouté inhabituel.
En concert l'open back (et sans tone ring) est franchement léger, il faut rajouter un résonateur, kit dispo chez Deering mais si vous le commandez directement aux States les douaniers français ne vous louperont pas au moment de l'importation (un vrai petit racket): mieux vaut passer par Thomann qui vous l'importera à prix acceptable.
Par contre Deering aurait pu se fendre d'une clé de tenseur, non livrée avec l'instrument: or les écrous sont au standard américain en 9/32" non compatibles avec les jeux de clés hexa françaises.

** Commentaire rajouté après un an d'utilisation: même avec résonateur le volume sonore reste limite en concert; ce qui fait de ce banjo un instrument d'étude. Je viens de passer à la gamme supérieure.
