Banjo FAQ

Questions, Comments, Facts And Everything Else About The 5 string Banjo

What is the difference between a 5 string closed back banjo and a open back banjo?
The closed back banjo which has a resonator attached to the back of the banjo, Is usually used for bluegrass music the 3 finger Earl Scruggs style of
playing the banjo. The resonator reflects the sound from the back of the banjo back out the front, usually channeled around the edges of the rim of the
resonator through the the flange. On the open back banjo models the sound is sent straight out of the back of the banjo. And has a little deeper tone.
The open back banjo is usually used to play the frailling style or the claw hammer style of banjo picking..

What is the difference between maple banjos and mahogany banjos?
Maple is is a harder or denser wood and reflects the sound making the instrument slightly louder.
The mahogany ones seem to absorb some of the vibration and will usually have a little mellower tone.
Both woods are very popular in the construction of banjos. And it is mainly a personal preference to the type of sound
you are looking for.

Brass tone rings? What do they do and what is the difference between them.
There is basically 2 different types of tone rings that are installed on banjos. First there is what can be called a brass hoop ring or a
a rolled brass tone ring. This is a small brass ring about a half of a inch in height, and is installed directly under the banjo head.
As you vibrate the banjo strings the head vibrates and the brass ring placed directly under the head also vibrates.
This small brass tone works fine but still doesn't compare to the larger brass tone ring, which is quite heavy but has more vibration.
Works like a tuning fork. The larger tone rings come in a variety of  models. There are some custom made tone rings that can cost up to $300.00
or more. But for the beginner banjo player or even the intermediate player the small ring will work fine. The extra weight of having a 17 pound banjo
around your neck or laying in your lap while you are trying to learn banjo rolls and chords may make it a little more difficult, For the beginner banjo picker.

What is a planetary tuner?
A planetary tuner is the tuning knob located at the top of the head stock. The planetary tuner come out of the back of the head stock.
These are geared tuners, and are preferred over other types of tuners. You can adjust the tension of the planetary tuners by holding the knob
and tighten the screw located on the end of the the knob. This will allow little or no movement in the tuning gears, and will help keep your banjo in tune.

While the base of the guitar banjo  is just like a regular 5 string banjo. It has 6 strings instead of 5, and is tuned like a guitar.
