History Of Custom Made Banjos

By Timothy Edwards


We all have our favorite things to do just to entertain ourselves especially to pass time. One of mine is to listen and learn how to produce and create sounds. This is made possible with the different kinds of musical instruments made available for use. One that sparks my very interest on this matter is the custom made banjos.

Let us try to get to know more about it history. Banjo is an instrument that has originated in West Africa since as early as the 17th century. This is that one instrument that is most often called as the gourd and is usually made of animal skin, horse hair for its string, a wooden neck and a hollowed gourd. It just one of the very few instruments that has a very rich historical and cultural background.

Originating from West Africa since as early as the 17th century they have been calling this type of instrument as the gourd. The so called gourd is made out of horse hair for strings, a hollowed gourd and a wooden neck. It is also just one of the 60 plucked lute instruments to date.

The Banjo is the most underestimated string instrument as it is one of the smallest. This could have been reasoned by the previous years of the instrument being elusive to the eyes of the public. They were referred once as studio instruments as they are most likely called to be ugly, they were also called out as just the great accompaniment.

This string instrument is something that I find very easy to learn and to even play. It gives you a very defined, raw, metallic and rusty sound that is very different and organic to that of a guitars vibe. Mostly, you can find some of its uses in most folk and country music that are recently produced.

Underestimated might have been the term used by most people of the Banjo but what they do not know is of its wide contribution to the country and folk scene. It has also a great contribution to the singers who had made an impact as they are performing with their banjos on the stage.

In addition to this I have also noticed that millennials nowadays are embracing the notion of multicultural diversity and are interested on the vast exploration of cultural musicality. The uses of the Banjo are now the focus of interest in most music schools anywhere around the world as it is also found to be a very good accompaniment to most instruments present in their music studios.

Loving how learning this instrument is relative to knowing an entire history and culture more importantly knowing that it brings me closer to a nation. I can not simply wait to uncover more and learn more of such treasures. I will totally have one to keep for myself, such wonderful custom made banjos.
