The Korena take
Goodtime’s 17-Fret Tenor is an open-back, four-string banjo set up in standard CGDA tenor tuning.

The 21-inch scale and correctly fretted neck are intended to make it easy to hold and play, including for beginners and string players crossing into tenor banjo.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Travel, camping, hiking, or beach trips where a 4 lb banjo is practical.
- Beginners seeking a correctly fretted, easy-playing tenor banjo.
