Banjo:
The banjo is a four-, five- or (occasionally) six-stringed
instrument with a thin membrane stretched over a frame
or cavity as a resonator, called the head.
The membrane, or head, is typically made of plastic,
although animal skin is still occasionally but rarely used,
and the frame is typically circular.
Early forms of the instrument were fashioned by Africans
in America, adapted from African instruments of similar design.
The banjo is frequently associated with country, folk,
Irish traditional and bluegrass music.
Historically, the banjo occupied a central place in African
American traditional music, before becoming popular in
the minstrel shows of the 19th century.
The banjo, with the fiddle, is a mainstay of American
old-time music. It is also very frequently used in
Traditional Jazz.
Fiddle:
Fiddle is another name for the bowed string musical instrument
more often called a violin. It is also a colloquial term for the
instrument used by players in all genres, including classical music.
Fiddle playing, or fiddling, refers to various styles of music.
Fiddle is also a common term among musicians who play folk
music on the violin. The fiddle is part of many traditional (folk)
styles of music which are aural traditions, taught 'by ear' rather
than via written music.
There are few real distinctions between violins and fiddles,
though more primitively constructed and smaller violins are
more likely to be considered fiddles.
Due to the style of the music played, fiddles may optionally
be set up with a bridge with a flatter arch to allow multiple strings
to be played simultaneously with more ease, such as the droning
in bluegrass music or performing triple stops.
Guitar :
The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as
a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings,
usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically
or through electrical amplification.
It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings
with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the fret)
the strings with the left hand.
The guitar is a type of chordophone,
traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut,
nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other
chordophones by its construction and tuning.
The modern guitar was preceded by thegittern,
the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar,
and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed
to the development of the modern six-string instrument.
Washboard:
The washboard and frottoir (from Cajun French "frotter", to rub)
are used as a percussion instrument, employing the ribbed metal
surface of the cleaning device as a rhythm instrument.
As traditionally used in jazz, zydeco,skiffle, jug band, and
old-time music, the washboard remained in its wooden frame
and is played primarily by tapping, but also scraping the
washboard with thimbles. Often the washboard has additional
traps, such as awood block, a cowbell, and even small cymbals.
Conversely, the frottoir (zydeco rubboard) dispenses
with the frame and consists simply of the metal
ribbing hung around the neck.
It is played primarily with spoon handles or bottle openers in a
combination of strumming, scratching, tapping and rolling.
The frottoir or vest frottoir is played as a stroked percussion instrument, often in a band with a drummer,
while the washboard generally is a replacement for drums.
In Zydeco bands, the frottoir is usually played with bottle openers,
to make a louder sound. It tends to play counter-rhythms to
the drummer. In a jug band, the washboard can also be stroked
with a single whisk broom and functions as the drums for the band,
playing only on the back-beat for most songs, a substitute for a
snare drum. In a four-beat measure, the washboard will stroke
on the 2-beat and the 4-beat.
