I took my time looking at various Tenor Banjos (Irish Tuning) in order to get the right sound, ease of playing and lightness of product. The Deering Goodtime 2 17 SS Tenor was the optimum solution for all my needs at a cost effective price.

I intend to use the banjo to diversify. I have a classical guitar for classical and 'older' Irish music such as O'Carolan. I have a mandolin which I use for folk music, but which will now take me towards more classical pieces, and I shall use the banjo for Celtic folk music etc.
This is my first banjo, so I am no expert, but so far it seems to be an excellent instrument for its price and purpose.
