The GOTR (Gentlemen of the Road) Goodtime Banjo is the long-awaited Mumford & Sons banjo, built for their fans to inspire them to be a part of creating music. Modeled after our legendary Goodtime Openback, the GOTR banjo is made in America by Deering in the same factory as our upperline banjos.

While bringing banjo and Mumford & Sons fans the Charity Banjo Campaign, we have received countless requests for a Mumford & Sons banjo that is affordable and inspiring to both learn on and travel the road with. Through much collaboration on what this banjo should be and what band art should grace its neck and skin, it is our great pleasure to present to you the Gentlemen of The Road Goodtime Banjo!

Available online only.

The GOTR Banjo is based on our Goodtime Openback model, which is renowned as the top learning banjo by teachers as well as a great option for players on the go. Easy to play, durable and simple to maintain. At only 4 pounds, the weight makes it ideal for both children and adults to play and travel with.

Gentlemen of the Road (GOTR) encompasses the work the band members of Mumford & Sons do with the opportunity they have to tour the world and meet fascinating wonderful people. It is their way of bringing their community of music lovers together with those communities they encounter; engaging with local communities through charitable efforts, which Deering is proud to have been involved with for over 6 years!

In this spirit, we introduce you to the GOTR Goodtime Banjo to bring music to communities all over the world.
