Banjo - 1952
At the end of the Second World War, wishing to go round the world, François Baschet decides to take a guitar in his luggage, in order to musically accompany his journey.
Extremely bright and anxious not to be too loaded down with a musical instrument, he then decides to replace the sound box with an inflatable bag. It is in this way that he created the first ever collapsible banjo!
Back in France, having been to the Parisian cabarets, he wins the Lépine competition, an inventors' competition. Supported by his brother Bernard, lover of concrete music, they decide to study together the acoustic writings of past centuries. The fundamental research takes shape and unites them around the discovery of the sound structures, which will be named after them. (dim. 50 x 50 x 100)
Private collection BASCHET brothers.
