Deering Parlor banjo

Does anyone have experience with this particular banjo.  It is the Goodtime with a shorter neck.  I have owned 3 or 4 Goodtimes and they were excellent banjos.  I still own one that I practice on.  I bought my grandson (11 years old) the parlor model because I thought it would be easier to fret with the short neck.  My experience with it from the start is that the sound is far inferior to the regular Goodtime.  I assumed that with the shorter neck that came with the territory.  But I also find that this banjo is very difficult to stay in tune. I have had the banjo about 2 years.  I must say it is quite diasappointing compared to all other Deerings I have owned.  Could it have a problem such as warped neck or something.  The music store from which I bought it had it displayed in the window.  Could heat from the sun have damaged it in some way?  If so, is there a way to improve it?
