This second hand banjo is in great condition

The B‑9 is Washburn’s entry-level, resonator-driven banjo tailored for beginners and hobbyists. Built with a mahogany resonator and neck, cast-aluminum tone ring, and Remo head, it offers excellent projection and classic bluegrass tone at an affordable price 

 Build Quality & Features

• Mahogany resonator & rim: Adds warmth and resonance; the grooved hoop tightens easily for real banjo pop 
• Neck & fingerboard: Mahogany neck with engineered wood or rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, 27.5″ scale - smooth and playable for beginners 
• Bridge & hardware: Maple bridge with ebony tip, chrome tailpiece, armrest, and planetary 5th string tuner, functional and sturdy 
• Tone ring: Cast-aluminum ring boosts brightness and clarity; roomy enough for rolls and drive 

The Washburn B‑9 serves as an outstanding entry-level resonator banjo. It strikes a strong balance of tone, build quality, and value—a perfect launch pad for beginners or a dependable practice and backup instrument for veterans. While there are areas for gear-minded players to upgrade (tuners, bridge, setup), its strengths in sound clarity, projection, and comfort outshine its minor flaws.

If you're after a genuine banjo experience without the pro-level price tag, the B‑9 is hard to beat.
