Banjo

A banjo is a Terran stringed musical instrument.

Doctor Sonek Pran learned to play banjo as a boy while travelling with the A.C. Walden Medicine Show. In his later career as a special diplomatic envoy, he usually brought a vintage 22nd century banjo with him, and played to help himself think.

Pran's daughter, Sara Pran Yee, wrote an arrangement of a Talarian song, "Miloraz Silbonni", for the banjo as a birthday gift to her father. Pran later played this arrangement for the Talarian Ambassador to the United Federation of Planets.
