Banjos

A banjo is a stringed instrument that is commonly associated with American folk and bluegrass music.  It has a circular body with a membrane, typically made of animal skin or synthetic material, stretched over the top, and a long neck with frets and four or five strings that are usually made of metal.  The strings are plucked or strummed with a pick or the fingers to produce sound.

Banjos have a distinctive twangy sound that is often associated with traditional American music styles.  They are used in many different musical genres, including folk, country, bluegrass, and even rock and pop music.

Banjos come in different styles and sizes, with some having open backs and others having resonator backs that project the sound more effectively.  They are also available in different numbers of strings, with four-string banjos being commonly used in traditional jazz, and five-string banjos being the most common in bluegrass and other traditional American styles.
