banjo

A stringed musical instrument with a circular body and a long neck, typically played with a plectrum or fingers.
Noun
pl: banjos

The banjo is strongly associated with folk, bluegrass, and early American music, carrying a rustic or rural connotation. While it is a versatile instrument, it is often perceived as having a bright, percussive, and "twangy" timbre that distinguishes it from the smoother sound of a guitar.

In a cultural context, the instrument is frequently linked to the Appalachian region of the United States and has deep historical roots in African musical traditions, which were adapted into the American folk style.
