Originally established in London in the early 1900s, Barnes & Mullins became one of the most famous names associated with high quality banjos. Today, the company reissues some of its most popular models. These instruments allow today's musicians to enjoy a fantastic high quality banjo at an affordable price, developed with the same expertise and attention to detail as they were over 100 years ago.
The Barnes & Mullins BJ400E 'Rathbone' 5 string banjo combines outstanding quality with a unique and striking appearance. It's the perfect instrument for a gigging banjo player - thanks to the equipped pickup you can avoid the hassle of positioning a mic in front of the banjo. A low action and quick neck make this banjo a joy to play. It features a closed back mahogany resonator to deliver an authentic, punchy bluegrass tone with a genuine Remo black banjo head. Geared machine heads ensure improved tuning stability. The BJ400E also features a rolled brass tone ring to improve the volume and projection of the instrument.
