NORTHFIELD MODEL M A5 MANDOLIN - BLACK TOP

Features:

This is the mandolin Northfield had in their heads when they first started shaping wood into remarkable instruments. One that does away with fancy scroll work and relies purely on rich, warm sound to make an impression. A mandolin that reflects both their obsessive nature with the finest instruments of the past—yes, they've spent hundreds of hours looking at CT scans of the world’s great violins and mandolins, studying wood densities, making 3D scans, and analyzing recordings to dial in specific frequencies when they carve and voice the instrument.

You see before you play the Model M, know that a whole bunch of other musicians already have. They gave early production models to musicians. Had them take them on the road, play in front of a crowd, play in the heat, play on a bus at four in the morning. Their feedback is built into every mandolin Northfield makes.
