Banjo electrique
Mad Banjo
Electro-Electric

This Banjo model was designed to be played at high volume, at the request of a musician performing on large stages, without risking feedback, or picking up other instruments through the skin as happens with an acoustic banjo.

For this, I imagined a carbon “skin”, suspended on a flexible material to reproduce the cushioning of a real skin; Equipped with an Ischell sensor, it produces a sound very close to acoustic, coupled with an electric sound by its Tele type microphone.
