| Description | Featuring a mahogany resonator and aluminium rim with a Remo Weather King 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 machine heads. 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. This B&M Perfect 4-string banjo is also sometimes referred to as a tenor banjo and is generally used for lively styles such as traditional jazz (Dixieland). It is usually played with a pick (or plectrum) in either an accompaniment strumming fashion or by picking individual melody notes - " much like a guitar. It makes for an excellent introductory instrument if you're new to the world of banjos given its use of fewer strings than 5-string banjos, its shorter scale length, and its versatile playing styles. |
