		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in a mini-series devoted to parts and setup of a modern five-string bluegrass banjo.

		<description><![CDATA[We banjo players have a luxury unknown to players of other stringed instruments-the sounding board of our instrument is a drum head that can be replaced easily and inexpensively. That enables us to experiment with different sounds. Once upon a time, all banjo heads were made of animal hide (usually calfskin). The warm tone of [...]]]></description>
