Custom Made Banjos And The Modern Market

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.

I am sure that you have seen the younger generation and they are very affluent with some of the instruments that we never even heard of since childhood. The interesting part is that one of this few instruments is the Banjo. An instrument that originated in West Africa since the 17th century

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.

Unlike the guitar, learning the banjo was much more easier. It is a string instrument that did not need a lot of effort and strength when you use it. It was very convenient to learn and play. It lets out a very organic and metallic sound that is slightly different and softer from that of a guitar.

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.

I would say that this stunt in promoting Banjos again in the market is really something we could look forward to. Not only that we are preserving just a part of a culture but we are advancing in a length-waive of an empowered generation that is aware of an advocacy and of cultural musicality.

With this modern touch for the current market, I could not wait to hear more news about its progress. The rising popularity of this cute string favorite has reached the newest generation and I could not be more thrilled of what is to come. I have such high hopes for a great deal of demand this coming year for these adorable custom made banjos.
