Barnes & Mullins BJ500BW Empress 5 String Banjo

Named after the tragic Empress of Ireland ocean liner, the Barnes & Mullins BJ500BW Empress 5 string banjo combines outstanding quality with a unique and striking appearance. A low action and quick neck make this banjo a joy to play. It features a closed back burl walnut resonator to deliver an authentic, punchy bluegrass tone with a genuine Remo Vellum head. Geared machine heads ensure improved tuning stability. The BJ500BW also features a rolled brass tone ring to improve the volume and projection of the instrument.
