Bowley Barnes started “The Jo”, their famous musical instrument journal.\nSpecialising 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.\nSadly 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.\nBowley Barnes continued the business thereafter, and what he had started with his partner years earlier in Bournemouth now moved to Rathbone Place, London.\nIn 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.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Mullins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51901797368093,"sku":"BMUK9S","price":238.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/BMUK9S.webp?v=1781812208","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/barnes-mullins-soprano-spalt-maple-ukulele-bmuk9s","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
