History Of Custom Made Banjos

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.

My excitement is actually brought about by the reason that the Banjo is just one of the most underrated string instrument of this time. This might be because it is only appealing to traditional users. Especially to the areas where the instrument historically originated from, West Africa.

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.
