- Page 1 2. Though many people think that the banjo is the all-American instrument, born and developed in the good ol' U. S. of A., they're only telling you a partial truth and a very small part of the whole story.What they are thinking of is the 5-string banjo donned by such greats as Earl Scruggs and Bela Fleck.uning for this instrument was similar to the 5-string (but I'll map that out down below).
