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.

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.

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.

The guitar took place right after Banjos reign. It was exactly the replacement. In comparison, the guitar was way harder to use and needed much more grip than that of the banjo. The Banjo may have been softer in sound and is more organic and rustic but it has the capacity to produce a greater country effect that the guitar could not provide.

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.

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.
