Washburn B-9 5-String Tenor Banjo
Description
Description
The B‑9 is Washburn’s entry-level, resonator-driven banjo tailored for beginners and hobbyists. Built with a mahogany resonator and neck, cast-aluminum tone ring, and Remo head, it offers excellent projection and classic bluegrass tone at an affordable price
Build Quality & Features
-
Mahogany resonator & rim: Adds warmth and resonance; the grooved hoop tightens easily for real banjo pop
-
Neck & fingerboard: Mahogany neck with engineered wood or rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, 27.5″ scale - smooth and playable for beginners
-
Bridge & hardware: Maple bridge with ebony tip, chrome tailpiece, armrest, and planetary 5th string tuner, functional and sturdy
-
Tone ring: Cast-aluminum ring boosts brightness and clarity; roomy enough for rolls and drive
Sound & Playability
-
Tonality: Produces sharp, punchy bluegrass tone with good dynamic range—great for frailing, fingerpicking, and traditional playing
-
Voluminous projection: Resonator construction ensures you’ll be heard in group settings without miking .
-
Comfort: Includes armrest, decent setup out of box, and easy action—comfortably pick up and play .
Who It’s For
-
Beginners stepping from guitar or new to banjo—solid teaching tool and everyday player
-
Casual pickers and budget-conscious players, offering premium resonator tone without draining wallets.
-
Bluegrass/frailing/apprentice musicians looking for stage-ready performance without shelling out for advanced gear.
The Washburn B‑9 serves as an outstanding entry-level resonator banjo. It strikes a strong balance of tone, build quality, and value—a perfect launch pad for beginners or a dependable practice and backup instrument for veterans. While there are areas for gear-minded players to upgrade (tuners, bridge, setup), its strengths in sound clarity, projection, and comfort outshine its minor flaws.
If you're after a genuine banjo experience without the pro-level price tag, the B‑9 is hard to beat.
