NBD - New banjo day
I'm NOT a banjo player, but I've always loved the sound of clawhammer banjo. Banjo's aren't as common on the ground here (Australia) and decent ones are expensive. I'd tried a couple of these Deering Americanas in stores over the years and really liked them, as much as a non-banjo player can tell. I had my 60th coming up, saw this on Gumtree (our craigslist) for a great price. I got my wife to buy it, had it in a box on the shelf for a few weeks. I held off opening or even looking until my actual birthday. Yesterday was my birthday! Very happy.

You're gonna have fun with that. The Deering Goodtime banjos are nice!

I think you made the perfect choice for learning clawhammer. The deering's are the only beginning banjos that I recommend, and you can't really go wrong. If the americana had existed when I was buying my first, I would have gone with that. I ended up with the standard open back banjo. Loved it.

Great choice for your 1st banjo. Deering Goodtimes can't be beat in their price range.
