What is a Korri Banjo?

A korri banjo is an American banjo type that was a specialty of the Bacon Banjo Company of Groton, Connecticut, from 1905 to 1914. The korri banjo was designed to be small and portable, and it had a round body with a resonator that was made of either sheet metal or wood. The korri banjo also had a short neck and a head that was made of calfskin or plastic. The korri banjo was popular with folk musicians and children, and it was often used in marching bands and orchestras.
