B16K-D Americana Series 5-String Resonator Banjo

"The B16 has been just what I needed on tour with Miranda, from acoustic practices to arena stages. Everybody on the tour knows its sound since I sometimes roam the hallways picking chase music as I follow our crew around." - Chris Kline, Miranda Lambert

Part of their popular American Series, the Washburn B16K-D Americana 5-string resonator banjo delivers the charm of an all-maple resonator and rim paired with a maple neck and ebony fretboard. Adding to its visual appeal is a gloss sunburst finish, Bell Brass tone ring and fancy inlays that adorn the playing area and headstock. Other features include a standard chrome armrest, clamshell tailpiece, one-piece flange, and an 11″ die-cast tension hoop. To make sure your B11K-D always sound its best, trustworthy geared Planetary tuners with separate coordinator rods are also standard. 

Washburn has been building banjos since the late 1800s. These instruments were considered some of the finest of their day. This heritage is not lost in the instruments they handcraft today. Pros and amateurs alike choose a Washburn for its outstanding tone, build and value.
