I think it's a pretty widely accepted truism, Sol. Many African instruments were based on hides stretched over gourds or something similar, so to view them as precursors to the banjo makes sense. I'm sure some banjo enthusiast will jump in with more detailed info, so check back. Or you might do a forum search for past threads on the subject.... cheers, david
