About Banjos
Brought over from Africa, the banjo has become a quintessentially American instrument made popular by bluegrass, country, and folk. The first thing to consider when buying a banjo is how many strings you want. The 5-string is the most popular type of banjo and is used in traditional genres, like bluegrass and folk. If you’re looking for a bright and prominent tone, then you’ll probably want to go with a 4-string. And while rare, 6-string banjos are also available.
