Barnes & Mullins Perfect 6-String Banjo
BJ306
Overview
The ''Perfect'' series of banjos were first created by Messrs Barnes & Mullins at the start of the 1900s and formed the very core of the early B&M instrument offering.
Featuring a mahogany resonator and aluminium rim with a Remo WeatherKing head and mahogany neck, Barnes & Mullins Perfect banjos deliver a warm and controlled sound with a gentle and mature response.
Complete with chrome hardware and fittings, ovangkol fingerboard, and modern closed gear machineheads.
Well into the 21st century, original B&M 'Perfect' banjos still change hands for considerable sums of money amongst both antique dealers and musicians alike. The modern-day 'Perfect' banjos draw on the influence of the original instruments, paying homage to the vision and designs of our founders.
Why should I buy a 6-string banjo?
If you’re a guitarist wanting to explore what the banjo has to offer, this B&M Perfect 6-string banjo is the perfect instrument for you! It is tuned the same as a 6-string guitar - (E,A,D,G,B,E) – and therefore allows you guitarists to easily transfer your existing understanding, skill set and licks to the banjo seamlessly.
Perhaps you’re a seasoned 4-string or 5-string banjo player and want to expand your experience into playing yet more types of banjos? This B&M ‘Perfect’ 6-string banjo is the ideal way for you to do so.
Common 6-string banjo tunings
E, A, D, G, B, E – Standard Guitar Tuning
Please note: the inlays on the B&M BJ306 6 string banjo are positioned in the same location as on a banjo – frets 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 etc. Some 6 string banjos position the 10th fret marker on the 9th fret to match a guitar.
