The Barnes & Mullins BMR300 resonator guitar is the perfect instrument to begin or continue your foray into authentic blues and bluegrass guitar playing.
This classy parlour size resonator guitar features a beautiful satin spruce top matched with an open pore mahogany back and sides and a single cone, biscuit bridge resonator design with a chrome resonator cover and hardware. The top pairs two f-holes with three circular soundholes for a traditional and stylish aesthetic.
A mahogany ‘round-neck’ and walnut fingerboard meet a slotted headstock with open geared lyra machineheads, completing the BMR300’s ‘old-time’ look and feel.
Tonally, you can expect a naturally loud and articulate sound, and due to its shared resonator design characteristics with the banjo, the BMR300 delivers a distinctive banjo-esque mid / high range metallic assertiveness guaranteed to give your playing a truly authentic bluesy vibe. The combination of spruce and mahogany body tonewoods add a wonderful warmth, while the soundholes further ensure excellent volume and provide a well-rounded low-end.
Why should I buy a resonator guitar?
This Barnes & Mullins BMR300 resonator guitar is a great choice if you’re a guitarist who is venturing into blues and bluegrass styles, or equally, if you’re experienced in these areas of music and want a great-quality resonator guitar to add to your collection.
This versatile instrument can be tuned to various tunings suitable for blues, slide guitar, dobro and bluegrass styles, or simply to standard guitar tuning if you’re someone who wants to give your favourite riffs and licks that authentic blues and folk sound.

About us
About us
Founded in 2002 by Bryce Ferguson, Edinburgh Music Centre began as Brass and Woodwind — a small, specialist workshop in southwest Edinburgh dedicated to professional-grade instrument care.

Today, Edinburgh Music Centre has grown into one of the UK’s best-equipped and most trusted instrument workshops, serving students, educators, orchestras, and professionals across Scotland and beyond.

Our Workshops
Having studied orchestral instrument restoration in 1995 for 3 years and a further 4 years apprenticeship, I opened Brass and woodwind in a small workshop in south west Edinburgh.
We have grown and now have 3 workshops for brass woodwind and string instruments, along with chemical and ultrasonic cleaning room and a pro polishing room, I believe it to be the finest and best equipped musical instrument restoration workshop in the UK.
