Banjos 🔍

Banjos are musical instruments used in country music, particularly those from Texas, which they were originally invented for playing during banjo contests and as a part of country-western music. They consist of two strings suspended between two wooden planks, usually made of oak or maple wood, with one end connected to the guitar string and the other to the bass drum. The sound is produced by the vibrations generated by the tension in the planks.
