The BM600 is an A-Style mandolin named after the town of Wimborne in the English county of Dorset. It was during the late 19th century that Albert Mullins and S Bowley Barnes first met in Wimborne and formed the friendship upon which the next few decades of performance and business would be founded.

The Wimborne is a traditional A-Style mandolin and features a dark stained finish and a Rosewood fingerboard giving it a traditional folk/roots look that is both timeless and beautiful.

Hand crafted with a solid Spruce top and solid Maple back and sides, the Wimborne has a beautiful earthy look with its gloss lacquer finish. This example boasts a Rosewood fretboard with 20 Nickel-Silver frets and height adjustable floating Ebony bridge.

The end result is a beautiful mandolin with a low, comfortable action and bright, sparkling, ringing tone and authoritative voice.
