Barnes & Mullins BM600E Wimbourne Mandolin with Pickup

The BM600E is an A-Style mandolin named after Wimborne in the English county of Dorset. It was during the late 19th century that Albert Mullins and S Bowley Barnes first met in the town of Wimborne and formed the friendship upon which the next few decades of performance and business would be founded.

The Barnes & Mullins Wimborne Mandolin is a traditional A-Style, 8 string instrument with a solid Spruce top, Ebony bridge and Maple back and sides. Offering both great sound and looks, this natural finish folk instrument features two ‘F’ sound holes, a Ovangkol fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays and an engraved tailpiece.
