Step back into the musical traditions of the frontier by crafting your own miniature lid banjos inspired by early American folk instruments. Participants will use simple household items like metal lids and popsicle sticks to mimic the construction of historical banjos, discovering how tight "strings" produce the twangy sounds of the Appalachian hills.
