DeeringGoodtime Six-R Left-Handed 6-String Resonator Banjo
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for left-handed players, the Goodtime Six-R is a six-string resonator banjo tuned E-A-D-G-B-E. Its resonator sits behind an 11-inch, three-ply violin-grade maple rim, creating a chamber and a surface that directs sound forward instead of into the player’s body. That makes it suited to bigger stages, while the six-string layout lets guitarists bring familiar material to banjo rather than treating it as a replacement guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bigger-stage playing where its resonator sends sound forward toward the audience rather than against the player’s body.
- Guitarists applying familiar E-A-D-G-B-E material to a six-string banjo alongside their guitar.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players.
