| The Banjo developed in America from its African origins, and is now immensely popular, due to its unique sound, suitability for a wide variety of music, and because it is so easy to play. Common types include the 5 - string, the tenor with four strings, the mandolin banjo or banjolin with eight and the ever popular uke banjo with four nylon strings. | Fretted Instrument Section ON THIS PAGE: 5 STRING BANJOS DEERING & VEGA 5-STRINGS TENOR BANJOS OTHER BANJOS RELATED PAGES: SECONDHAND BANJO PAGE BANJO BOOKS BANJO SPARES Banjo FAQ Page updated on: 04/02/12 |

The 5 string banjo is used for bluegrass music, usually in the style popularised by Earl Scruggs, and players look for a resonator and heavy brass tone ring. For old time clawhammer or frailing styles a simpler open backed model is better. Finger style classical banjo also uses the 5 string (with nylon strings) but is less common now.
