Banjos

A banjo is a stringed musical instrument with a distinctive circular body, typically featuring a drum-like tensioned membrane called a head. It usually has four or five strings that are plucked or strummed to produce sound. The instrument's bright, lively tone makes it popular in genres like folk, country, and bluegrass music. Its design allows for both rhythmic strumming and melodious picking, offering a versatile sound. The banjo's unique construction, combining aspects of a drum and a stringed instrument, gives it its characteristic bright, twangy quality.
