Folk and traditional instruments have deep cultural roots, originating from regional music styles and passed down through generations. These instruments, including banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, dulcimers, and bouzoukis, have been integral to genres like bluegrass, country, Celtic, and world music. Notable brands include Martin (D-28 Acoustic Guitar), Deering (Sierra Banjo), Kentucky (KM-150 Mandolin), and Kamaka (HF-3 Ukulele). Folk instruments are widely used in acoustic performances, storytelling traditions, and modern folk-pop fusion, making them essential for musicians seeking warm, organic tones.
