Washburn B9 5-String Resonator Banjo – Mahogany Gloss
Washburn has been building banjos since the late 1800s, producing instruments that were considered some of the finest of their day. That same heritage lives on in the B9, a 5-string resonator banjo that delivers traditional tone, reliable playability, and Washburn’s trademark value.

With its mahogany resonator for strong projection, paired with a cast-aluminum tone ring and Remo head, the B9 produces the punchy, articulate tone banjo players love. Its 30-tension bracket construction ensures stability, while the maple base bridge with rosewood tip transfers tone with clarity. The chrome hardware and die-cast tuning machines keep things precise and durable, while the Planetary 5th string tuner gives players smooth tuning control. Finished in light-brown gloss, the B9 offers both classic looks and authentic bluegrass sound.
