	Banjo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The banjo consists of a wooden or metal rim with a plastic (PET film) or calf or goat skin drumhead stretched across it, a neck mounted on the side of the rim, a tailpiece mounted opposite the neck, four or five strings, and a bridge.
		In the five-string banjo, the fifth peg is normally on the side of the neck, although some English versions (the Zither banjo) mount the fifth string tuner on the tuning head with the others, and route the string through a tube in the neck where it exits near the fifth fret.
		Banjo strings are most commonly metal, although nylon and gut can be used on some banjos, especially those played in the classical style.
