Barnes & Mullins BM600 Wimborne Solid Spruce / Maple Mandolin

Solid Spruce Clarity with Focused A-Style Mandolin Cut

The Barnes and Mullins BM600 Wimborne is an A-style 8-string mandolin for players who want a clear, traditional folk and bluegrass voice without moving into a scroll-top design. The solid spruce top gives the mandolin a lively attack, so picked notes jump out quickly for tremolo lines, chop chords and melodic runs.

The solid maple back and sides add brightness and focus, which helps the BM600 keep its shape when you are playing with guitars, fiddles or other acoustic instruments. The twin F-holes give the mandolin a more direct, cutting response than a rounder soundhole-style design, making it a practical choice when rhythm parts need to stay tight and lead lines need to be heard.

The maple neck and ovangkol fingerboard give the playing surface a straightforward, no-fuss feel, with 20 frets for working up the neck. The ebony bridge supports a crisp transfer of string energy, while the nickel hardware, engraved tailpiece and mother-of-pearl dot inlays give the natural-finish body a clean traditional look.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this mandolin is best for players who want solid spruce and maple response, F-hole clarity and a focused acoustic voice for folk, bluegrass, ensemble playing and home recording.
