Banjo - a symbol of American musical culture
The culture of a certain country is very clearly characterized by national music and its inherent folk instruments.
In the United States, the most popular national music is country, reflecting the multinationality and fusion of European and African American cultures. The main musical instruments for country music are fiddle, guitar and banjo. The banjo has an original unique sound that is difficult to confuse with the sound of another instrument.
The banjo is a stringed plucked musical instrument with a tambourine-shaped body and a long neck that can be fitted with four to ten strings. If you know how to play the guitar, then learning to play the banjo will be very easy.
By the way, in some African countries, the banjo is considered a sacred instrument, which can only be touched by high priests or rulers.
History
The banjo was brought to the Americas by navigators from West Africa around 1600. The mandolin can be considered a relative of the banjo, although researchers will give you about 60 different instruments that are similar to the banjo and may be its predecessors.
The first mention of the banjo is found by the English physician Hans Sloan in 1687. He saw the instrument in Jamaica from African slaves. Their instruments were made from dried gourds covered with leather.
At the beginning of the 19th century in the United States, the banjo seriously competed in popularity with the violin in African American music, then it attracted the attention of white professional musicians, including Joel Walker Sweeney, who popularized the banjo and brought it to the stage in the 1830s. The banjo also owes its external transformation to D. Sweeney: he replaced the pumpkin body with a drum body, demarcated the neck of the neck with frets and left five strings: four long and one short.
The peak of popularity of the banjo falls on the second half to the end of the 19th century, when the banjo can be found at concert venues and among music lovers. At the same time, the first self-instruction manual for playing the banjo was published, performance competitions were held, the first workshops for making instruments were opened, the gut strings were replaced with metal ones, manufacturers experimented with shapes and sizes.
Professional musicians began to perform on stage the works of classics such as Beethoven and Rossini, arranged on the banjo. Also, the banjo has proven itself in such musical styles as ragtime, jazz and blues. And although at 19In the 1930s, the banjo replaced electric guitars with a brighter sound, in the 40s the banjo again took revenge and returned to the stage.
Currently, the banjo is popular with musicians all over the world, it sounds in various styles of music. Cheerful and sonorous voice of the instrument tunes to the positive and uplifting.
Design features
The design of the banjo is a round acoustic body and a kind of fretboard. The body resembles a drum, on which a membrane is stretched with a steel ring and screws. The membrane can be made of plastic or leather. Plastics are usually used without sputtering or transparent (the thinnest and brightest). The standard head diameter of a modern banjo is 11 inches.
The removable resonator semi-body has a slightly larger diameter than the membrane.
The shell of the body is usually made of wood or metal, and the tailpiece is attached to it.
A hyphae is attached to the body with the help of an anchor rod, on which the strings are pulled with the help of pegs. The wooden stand is freely located on the membrane, to which it is pressed by stretched strings.
Just like a guitar, the banjo neck is divided by frets into frets arranged in a chromatic sequence. The most popular banjo has five strings, and the fifth string is shortened and has a special peg located directly on the fretboard, at its fifth fret. This string is played with the thumb and is usually used as a bass string, constantly sounding along with the melody.
Banjo bodies are traditionally made from mahogany or maple. Mahogany provides a softer sound with a predominance of midrange frequencies, while maple will give a brighter sound.
The sound of the banjo is significantly affected by the ring that holds the membrane.
There are two main ring pips: flattop, when the head is stretched flush with the rim, and archtop, when the head is raised above the level of the rim. The second type sounds much brighter, which is especially evident in the performance of Irish music.
Varieties of banjo
Manufacturers' experiments with the shape and size of the banjo have led to the fact that today there are many types of banjo, which differ, among other things, in the number of strings. But the most popular are the four-, five- and six-string banjos.
- Four string tenor banjo is a classic. It can be heard in orchestras, solo performance or accompaniment. The neck of such a banjo is shorter than that of a five-string banjo and is most often used for the dixlend. Instrument build - do, salt, re, la. The Irish, unlike the Americans, use their own special tuning, which is characterized by moving the G up, which gives additional intricacy to the squeezed chords. For the performance of Irish music, the banjo system changes to G, D, A, E.
-
Five-string banjo most often heard in country or bluegrass music. This type of banjo has a longer neck and simple strings that are shorter than the strings with a tuning key. The shortened fifth string is not clamped, remaining open. The system of this banjo: (sol) re, salt, si, re.
-
Six string banjo is also called banjo - guitar and it is also tuned: mi, la, re, salt, si, mi.
-
Banjolele is a banjo that combines ukulele and banjo, it has four single strings and is tuned like this: C, G, D, G.
-
Banjo Mandolin has four double strings, tuned like a prima mandolin: G, D, A, E.
Game technique
There is no special technique for playing the banjo, it is similar to the guitar.
The plucking and striking of the strings is carried out with the help of plectrums worn on the fingers and resembling nails. The musician also uses a mediator or fingers. Almost all types of banjo are played with a characteristic tremolo or arpeggiated with the right hand.
Banjo today
The banjo stands out for its especially sonorous and bright sound, which allows you to stand out from other instruments. Many people associate the banjo with country and bluegrass music. But this is a very narrow perception of this instrument, because it can be found in a variety of musical genres: pop music, Celtic punk, jazz, blues, ragtime, hardcore.
But the banjo can also be heard as a solo concert instrument. Especially for the banjo, such composers-performers as Buck Trent, Ralph Stanley, Steve Martin, Hank Williams, Todd Taylor, Putnam Smith and others composed works. The great works of the classics: Bach, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart, Grieg and others have also been transcribed to the banjo.
Today, the most famous banjo jazzmen are K. Urban, R. Stewart and D. Satriani.
The banjo is widely used in television shows (Sesame Street) and musical performances (Cabaret, Chicago).
Banjos are made by guitar manufacturers, for example. FENDER, CORT, WASHBURN, GIBSON, ARIA, STAGG.
When buying and choosing a banjo, you should proceed from your musical and financial capabilities. Beginners can purchase a four-string or the popular five-string banjo. A professional would recommend a six-string banjo. Also, start from the musical style that you plan to perform.
The banjo is a musical symbol of American culture, like our balalaika, which, by the way, is called the “Russian banjo”.

Total Nutz about Moscow and Muscovites
Improv-gang
Total Nutz was inspired by the name of the festival "Dreams of Moscow" and decided to play a performance about Moscow and Muscovites.
The artists will ask the audience to tell how, in their opinion, an ordinary day of a resident of the capital looks like, and they will play in an impromptu format the stories of the inhabitants of the capital.
A comedy improv show is a performance in which all stories are created here and now, no script, no pre-prepared jokes! A performance in which unpredictability wins over boring common sense. A performance in which the audience plays no less a role than the actors - after all, it depends on them what will happen on stage. Anything can happen there, and we are sure of only one thing - it will be unforgettably funny and witty.
Total Nutz - the most famous Moscow team in the genre of comedy improvisation, finalists of the All-Russian festival "League of Improvisation", participants of the first multi-format comedy festival "Punchline"; perform and teach improvisation at the TsIM (Meyerhold Theater Center).
