We all have our favorite things to do just to entertain ourselves especially to pass time. One of mine is to listen and learn how to produce and create sounds. This is made possible with the different kinds of musical instruments made available for use. One that sparks my very interest on this matter is 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.
In the 1940s, before the birth of the first guitars as its official replacement. The Banjo, was an instrument that is also used as a four string tool which helped to popularize the jazz age which was known as the newest society craze way back. Mentioning this, I think it is just fitting to call this string accompaniment as the father of the first guitars.
During the Jazz Age in the 1940s. The Banjo was made into a tool that brought about the popularization of the new society craze of its four-string replica. It took its time and most folk and country singers followed the trend by always using the banjo in every single performances they had. It did not take long until the instrument was replaced by the guitars of today.
Unlike the guitar, learning the banjo was much more easier. It is a string instrument that did not need a lot of effort and strength when you use it. It was very convenient to learn and play. It lets out a very organic and metallic sound that is slightly different and softer from that of a guitar.
Coming back to the modern times, the banjo may have been underrated but its never forgotten and this gets me excited. These days, shops are offering custom made banjos for every users liking. It is more like a Do It Yourself Banjo in a way. You pick your own materials, design it as you would wish, assemble and done. You got yourself a banjo costumed to your liking.
Today, It is such a delight knowing that the crafty banjo suppliers of this time is now promoting a very like-able way of approaching clients. It is indeed a genius to have it more preppy and self assuring as you could have it made as you want. It is also great that you could place accents and carve names on it which was never an option before.
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.
