The five-string banjo prototype of s underwent a number of enhancements and modifications, such as the tenor and Plektrumbanjo, the guitar-banjo and the mandolin, banjo. In modern banjo the fur is also not more from leather , but of plastic, which is more stable to humidity and temperature fluctuations. The tuning pegs, which were in early banjos simple wooden dowels have been replaced today by most vertebrae with metal planetary gear transmission with less worm .
Another significant development was the clay ring. When clay ring is a ring made of cast metal (often advertised as a bell bronze), sitting under the skin and contributes substantially to the sound training.
addition to the classical Banjos, the four-and five-string, there are other courses, in which the sound body fur / plastic, but the necks are borrowed from other instruments, so there are guitar banjos, and Mandolinenebanjos Ukulelenbanjos. Cello and Bass Banjos other hand, have a longer scale length and a larger frame diameter.
