The modern banjo was invented by Joel Sweeney in the 1800s. To the drum he added a neck with a fingerboard like those found on guitars and other string instruments and added frets so you can easily play all the notes in tune. As well as four conventional strings, Sweeney also added a unique feature not found on any other musical instrument – a shorter fifth string attached to a tuning peg fitted halfway up the side of the neck. This ‘Fifth string’ is responsible for much of the distinctive sound of the banjo.

This fabulous Banjo offers a quality instrument for the beginner or more advanced player. With a beautiful mahogany body and neck and solid metal drum the banjo is well built and solid. A genuine REMO Banjo head gives criosp, bright tone. High quality tuners allow for quick and easy tuning and ensure the guitar remains in tune.
