banjo player

Strums five strings

A banjo player is someone who plays the banjo, a stringed instrument with a round body and long neck associated with folk, bluegrass, and country music.

The term is neutral, though banjo players sometimes face stereotyping as unsophisticated or rural: Every bluegrass band needs a good banjo player.
