What an amazing instrument, and what a cross-cultural fusion!
💯⭐✍️........no I'm 62...Remember seeing one in my grandfather room ❤. Tq for SHOWING......
There is a misconception that the modern American style banjo originated in Africa. It did not. The Qinqin was developed over 5000 years ago and spread throughout the world via trade routes to India and the Middle East then south to Africa.
A wood rim covered in an animal skin head with a fretted neck. Devine.
Later in the early 1800's, Chinese immigrants brought this instrument along with their woodworking skills to America. The Qinqin was united with its Banjo cousin from Africa and melded via contemporary luthiers like SS Stewart to create the modern American Banjo.
Truly a multi-cultural phenomenon and the instrument of the people.
Sorry, but that’s incorrect. This instrument is related to the sanxian, a three string traditional Chinese instrument with a hide head. It originated in the Middle East from instruments that were probably influenced by African lutes like the Xalam. The banjo does originate in African, mostly like West Africa near Gambia, and is related to instruments similar to the Akonting, and the N’goni. Those instruments all have short chanterelle strings like the banjos 5th string. The idea of the Akonting went to the Carribean with the North Atlantic slave trade where it became a flat neck like European instruments, and then eventually America.
@@KenneyCmusic Nope. Qinqin predates all of that. Not only that...but relatively unchanged.
Even the Japanese had their version 2500 years ago.
@@actualsurfer Show me any evidence that supports that.
is it just me or is it out of tune
The frets are placed differently
Instead 12 equal notes per octave they are fretted 7 equal notes per octave which is why the frets look very wide for the scale length of the instrument
