The results of an investigation of fundamental banjo acoustics and physicsare now readily available. The papers describe measurements and calculationswhich demonstrate the extent to which the sound of a banjo can be representedby linear modeling of the basic parts common to the banjo family: strings, drumhead, light floating bridge, and break angle. This note summarizes theconclusions of that work and outlines some of the physics involved. While thescrutinized banjo behaviors are well-known to discerning builders and pickers,the focus here is how these arise from the physics. A practical application(discussed in an addendum) concerns head tap-tuning: what's going on, how itworks, and why some people and some tuners can't get it right.
