Custom Made BanjosBanjos More Than The Musicality

By Timothy Edwards


We all need some great music in our lives these days and what could be more enjoyable if rather than just listening to music, we could choose to create music ourselves. There is a wide variety of instruments and differing brands to explore but what I am very interested and would love to get to know more about these days are the custom made banjos.

These Banjos has been hitting the online community recently. But before any thing else I will be sharing to you the history of this lovely instrument. Banjo is just one of the few instrument that is rich in history and in cultural relativity. It is one tool that has made a great impact to the lives of the people in West Africa.

This instrument is technically made out of a hollowed gourd, a wooden neck and horse hair which is used for strings and any other alternative materials that is best fit to produce a remarkable sound. Being one of the sixty powerful lute instruments, the Banjo is also remarkable in its own way.

What thrills me is the fact that the Banjo is the most under-ranked instrument in the family of strings. This could be caused by the mere fact that it is mainly functional but what lacks most of exposure. Banjos are once called out to be studio instruments not until its consistent exposure and promotion in the 1940s.

It was early 1940s when there were a lot of inconsistencies in exposure and even brand placements. The Banjo also had its fair share of the limelight later that year. It was when the Jazz Age has come forth. It was craze, a new society and has introduced the Banjo as a four-string version of the instrument.

This string instrument is something that I find very easy to learn and to even play. It gives you a very defined raw metallic 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.

It is extremely exciting to hear more. I wish to have more promotions of ethnic instruments in any ways possible such as these as an example. The next time you think of learning an instrument do not forget to bring yourself to the nearest shop that offers you their custom made banjos.
