String instrument played by Bela Fleck and Steve Martin (5)

I believe the answer is:

banjo

(Other definitions for banjo that I've seen before include "Uke's relative" , "Stringed instrument beloved of old minstrel shows" , "String instrument" , "Softly (music)" , "Stringed instrument like guitar with round body" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
