Description

Barnes & Mullins BUBJ2 Banjo Ukulele Overview Imagine a Soprano Ukulele bursting with warm, 'old-time' character. That's the UBJ2. The Barnes and Mullins UBJ2 Banjolele is a characterful little instrument. This instrument is made in the tradition of many open back banjoukes before it and is scaled and strung as a Soprano Ukulele. Although not quite as loud as its resonator equipped, larger sibling - the UBJ1 - the UBJ2 produces a sweet and mellow tone. Ideal for ukulele players who want to add another instrument to their arsenal, the Banjolele is a breeze to pickup and play.

Barnes & Mullins Origins In 1894, Mr Albert Mullins and Mr S. Bowley Barnes started “The Jo”, their famous musical instrument journal. Specialising in all things banjo, they soon began manufacturing their own banjos as well as importing many other instruments. The original Barnes and Mullins banjos are still sought after today, with collectors seeking them out all over the world. Sadly in 1914 at the age of 40, Albert Mullins drowned when the ‘Empress of Ireland’ sank on the St Lawrence River. He was on the home leg of a 2 year sales trip. Bowley Barnes continued the business thereafter, and what he had started with his partner years earlier in Bournemouth now moved to Rathbone Place, London. In 1976, Mark Barnes – son of Bowley Barnes – moved the business to Grays Inn Road, Bloomsbury. Sadly in 1986, Mark Barnes died. He was greatly admired and respected by employees and customers alike who were quick to tell of his fair and generous nature.
