“The B16 has been just what I needed on tour with Miranda, from acoustic practices to arena stages. Everybody on the tour knows its sound since I sometimes roam the hallways picking chase music as I follow our crew around.” – CHRIS KLINE w/MIRANDA LAMBERT. 

Washburn has been building banjos since the late 1800s. These instruments were considered some of the finest of their day. This heritage is not lost in the instruments we handcraft today. Pros & amateurs alike choose a Washburn for its outstanding tone, build & value. 

The B16 features a Maple resonator and rim, one-piece flange, 11″ diecast tension hoop, Bell Brass tone ring, Clamshell tailpiece, standard chrome armrest, all 5 geared Planetary tuners, and separate coordinator rods.
