Abstract

A moulded resonator 1 for a banjo having a smoothly curved, convex outer shape. The resonator 1 is moulded from glass-fibre and attaches to the resonator flange by means of four fixing bolts. The resonator 1 can be decorated by painting or covered in leather cloth. Since there are no sharp edges to the outer surface of the resonator, its use provides the player with greater comfort and manoeuverability and gives the instrument a sharper tone.
