Established in London in the early 1900s, Barnes & Mullins became one of the most famous names associated with high quality banjos and mandolins.

Ten years ago, they reissued some of their most popular models. Building upon a heritage dating back to the late 1800s, the new generation of Barnes & Mullins banjos and mandolins created a wave of excitement amongst players.  These instruments offered today’s musicians the opportunity to enjoy a high quality mandolin at an affordable price, developed with the same expertise and attention to detail as they were over 100 years ago.

We have secured a small number of these instruments for immediate sale. They offer superb playability and an unmistakable visual appeal.

This is a lovely mandolin, perfect for pros and starters alike.

The BM600 is an A-Style mandolin named after the town of Wimborne in the English county of Dorset. It was during the late 19th century that Albert Mullins and S Bowley Barnes first met in Wimborne and formed the friendship upon which the next few decades of performance and business would be founded.

The Wimborne is a traditional A-Style mandolin and features a dark stained finish and an Indian Rosewood fingerboard giving it a traditional folk/roots look that is both timeless and beautiful.

Hand crafted with a solid Spruce top and solid Maple back and sides, the Wimborne has a beautiful earthy look with its gloss lacquer finish. This example boasts a Rosewood fretboard with 20 Nickel-Silver frets and height adjustable floating Ebony bridge.
