Description
The Barnes & Mullins Mandolin Wimborne Model is a beautifully voiced, easy playing A style mandolin designed for developing musicians who want a reliable instrument that will inspire practice and performance. It suits folk, bluegrass, Celtic and acoustic singer songwriter styles, with a clear, articulate response and the projection needed to cut through a mix. Comfortable to hold and reassuringly well finished, it gives new and returning players the confidence to focus on music rather than maintenance. Whether you are joining your first session, accompanying vocals or exploring melody playing, the Wimborne Model offers the feel and consistency that makes progress enjoyable and repeatable.
Features
Refined step up specification
The Wimborne Model moves beyond basic beginner instruments with upgraded woods, better finishing and sturdier hardware. This combination delivers a fuller, more responsive tone and a more dependable tuning experience, making it a natural next choice for players who have outgrown a simple starter mandolin.
Comfortable neck and setup
A carefully profiled neck, tidy fretwork and a well judged factory setup help new and advancing players achieve clean notes with less effort. The adjustable bridge and truss rod make it straightforward to fine tune the action as technique develops or when changing string gauges.
Clear, projecting tone
Designed for balance and clarity, the Wimborne produces a bright top end for melody work, supportive mids for rhythm chopping and enough body for solo practice. It speaks quickly under the pick and holds its tuning well, so you can concentrate on timing and dynamics.
Built for lessons and rehearsals
Robust construction and dependable hardware make this mandolin a solid choice for regular tuition, school rehearsals and community ensembles. It travels well, settles quickly after string changes and responds evenly at both quiet practice levels and session volumes.
