Like the folk genre itself, folk instruments were developed amongst common people. Unlike popular instruments such as the electric guitar, the acoustic guitar, the piano and the synthesizer, Folk instruments do not have recognised inventors. A folk instrument usually has a distinctive, unique timbre that is synonymous with certain sub-genres of folk music. For example, the resonator guitar and the harmonica are heavily associated with blues whilst banjo is woven into the fabric of country music. Folk instruments are also to used excellent effect in non-folk styles. The ukulele has transcended its traditional Hawaiian roots, becoming a staple instrument in many contemporary genres, including indie, rock and pop.
