Banjo Drum Physics — theoretical preliminaries Open
The interaction of a drum’s head with its enclosed air is presented in the simplest possible form appropriate to the questions and issues that arise in understanding the timbre of the banjo. The inherent air-head impedance mismatch allows …

Air modes of the Bacon internal resonator banjo Open
Sound measurements on a sequence of related, similar constructions with slightly
\ndifferent dimensions confirm a simple picture of the air modes of the internal resonator
\nbanjo’s body. For the purpose of this study, the air modes are de…
