The Barnes & Mullins BJ500M Troubadour string banjo features an 'antique' appearance with a patterned tone ring and flange. It features a stunning burl maple resonator, which delivers a tone that sounds as great as this banjo looks.
The Barnes & Mullins 'Troubadour' is a superb burled maple 5 string banjo named after the monthly music publication 'The Troubadour' issued and created by Mr Bowley Barnes and Albert Mullins beginning in their music-hall heyday of 1895. Along with Barnes & Mullins' banjo-specific title 'The Jo', the Troubadour represented the cutting edge of contemporary music news, comment and transcription.
