Banjo Origins. Traced back centuries throughout the Middle East and Africa, banjos originated as drums with strings stretched over them and played bowed or plucked.he modern banjo comes from a collaboration of fourth and fifth string banjos. A sixth string version of the banjo was created by William Temlett, one of England's earliest banjo makers.
The banjo is a four-, five- or 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.
