User questions & answers

Question:	Does the tuner work for all string instruments
Answer:	Unfortunately no, I only have the deck designed for 6 string guitars.
Question:	How would you tune the smaller size banjo, also size wise would you say concert or tenor ukulele
Answer:	Hi Jay - There isn't currently a deck designed specifically for bass guitars at the moment. This deck however can still be very useful to a bass player. For example all of the note cards, interval cards, key cards and theory cards will still apply. The only cards that might not apply well are the chord cards and the scale cards because it might be tricky for a bass player to visualize removing the last 2 strings. I hope that helps.
Question:	Is there a left hand version available
Answer:	Hey! This deck is intended for both left handed and right handed players, charts are written the same regardless of what your primary hand is.
Question:	Can someone tell me why they suggest tuning to open c as opposed to open g
Answer:	Can you please send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send you a copy of the pdf.

Product description

A resonator back provides more projection of sound in the Goodtime 2. It's made here in the USA, at the Deering shop with the same tooling used to make the top of the line banjos. Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because there were no low priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. He remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so his gift to others is the Goodtime banjo line.

• 11″ Frosted Top High Crown Head
• Blonde Slender Rock Maple Neck
• 3-ply Violin Grade Goodtime Maple Rim
• 22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets
• Includes a Gig bag
