Barnes & Mullins BJ350 Albert Open-Back 5-String Banjo

Authentic Old-Time Feel and Tone

The Barnes & Mullins BJ350 Albert is a traditional open-back 5-string banjo designed for players who appreciate vintage tone and character. Perfect for clawhammer and other old-time styles, its open-back build naturally produces a softer, more mellow sound, with warm projection that leans towards the player—ideal for home playing, acoustic sessions or folk ensembles. The walnut rim and mahogany neck deliver a pleasing tonal balance, while the Ovangkol fingerboard with mother of pearl inlays adds a touch of visual elegance.

Equipped with a Remo Vellum head, maple bridge with Ovangkol tip and planetary tuners, the BJ350 delivers reliability, classic tone and authentic performance aesthetics. Chrome hardware, dual coordinator rods and an armrest complete this well-built and charming instrument.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Albert is a beautiful choice for traditional banjo players seeking character, tone and old-time charm.
