What is a scooped neck in banjo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A section is scooped out of the banjo neck close to the pot, this gives greater clearance between the strings and the fret board. This is especially useful for melodic clawhammer style, where the banjo is played slightly up the neck of the banjo.

How does the banjo produce sound?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A banjo produces sound from string vibration. The strings rest on a wooden bridge, which is sitting on top of a banjo head, basically the same as a drum head you would find on a snare drum for instance, but special heads are made just for the banjo. When a string is plucked, the vibration travels from the string, to the bridge, then it is transmitted to the head of the banjo, so just like an acoustic guitar, no electronic amplification is needed.
