Like the Goodtime Americana, the 12” rim will produce a deeper sound compared to the more vibrant sounding 11” rim.
The Goodtime Concert Scale Banjo Ukulele is 14 ¾ inches long with an 11” 3-ply maple rim while the Goodtime Tenor Scale Banjo Ukulele is 11” with a larger 12” 3-ply maple rim. These two banjos are tuned the same but are actually quite different. What is the difference between the Deering Goodtime Concert Scale Banjo Ukulele and the Deering Goodtime Tenor Scale Banjo Ukulele? They can be openback or include a resonator, just like banjos. The banjo ukulele didn’t appear until the early 20th century, possibly in California, and is sometimes called a banjolele. Today it’s associated with Americana or old-time music in America despite it being adapted to play many different styles of music. The banjo typically has 4 or 5 strings stretched over a drum and sound is produced when strings are picked (sometimes strummed). The banjo on the other hand, is based on a traditional African instrument and made its way into the United States in the early 1800s and took off in popularity. King Kalakaua was very fond of the instrument which is a big reason it is synonymous with Hawaiian culture. It’s believed to be an adaptation of a Portuguese instrument, the cavaquinho. You’ll typically see these in four sizes, from smallest to largest, soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. They have a hollow body like a guitar and produce sound when nylon strings pulled tight over a fretted neck are strummed. The ukulele is a Hawaiian instrument that dates all the way back to the 1800’s. Our most popular models are the Deering Goodtime Concert Scale Banjo Ukulele and the Deering Goodtime Tenor Scale Banjo Ukulele. The body is a small banjo while the neck is a fretted ukulele neck. They achieved peak popularity in the 1920’s and 1930’s when vaudeville actors needed an instrument with the ease of playability of a ukulele with the sound projection of a banjo. Like a ukulele, it’s a four string instrument, but with construction, tone, and projection more similar to a banjo. Well as you might expect, it’s a cross between the two instruments.
