Duet arrangements of three well-known Vivaldi Concertos arranged for mandolin and guitar: Concerto in A (RV82), Concerto in C (RV425), and Concerto in D (RV93). Each arrangement in this collection has been reduced from soloist with string orchestra, to a duet for mandolin and guitar. The mandolin performs the solo part and the guitar part is a reduction of the strings. In the guitar part, chords have been added above the staff to allow for embellishment-a common practice of the Baroque era. Another C instrument such as flute, violin or another guitar can be easily substituted for the mandolin. Musicians will find these accessible arrangements excellent for performance in any setting from the recital hall to the local cafe.The score (guitar/mandolin) and mandolin solo part are available in hard copy while the guitar accompaniment part is available as a free internet download. The mandolin and guitar parts are presented in notation.

From Northfield:

"The Northfield "Big Mon" features a slightly enlarged F5 body, which produces a very rich, powerful sound. All Big Mon models feature premium-grade tonewoods and a varnish finish, and there's a noticeable difference in the openness of sound and projection they carry relative to a standard NF-5.If you're adventurous enough to push the boundaries of tradition, but you demand the woody power we've come to expect in a serious bluegrass mandolin, check out Big Mon!"

This example is in excellent condition and only shows a few light signs of wear. It is setup with low action and boasts a balanced, punchy tone that is sure to cut through the mix!

Unlabelled Model 5 String Banjo, most likely made by S. S. Stewart, c. 1900, made in Philadelphia, PA, natural finish, double spun rin, cherry neck with ebonized fingerboard, black chipboard case.

Often with "Catalog Jobber" instruments we can tell you who sold it but not who built it; in this case it's the opposite; we know who most likely made this lovely banjo but as it carries no markings at all not who they made it for! It was almost certainly built by the S.S. Stewart company of Philadelphia for sale by some other concern, like Sears, Roebuck & Co. or another similar retailer or jobber. While not branded it is a fairly fancy example of the sort of "Catalog" instruments sold all over the US around 1900. Some features of this banjo suggest a build date right around the turn of the 19th-20th century, sometime after Stewart himself died but his company was still in operation.

The elaborate headstock is typically Stewart style, as is the neatly carved floral-pattern heel. The inlay work is quite impressive, a fingerboard-long floral vine pattern executed in pearl, abalone and silver (or pewter) wire. The delicately inlaid headstock is also a very neat piece of work. The fingerboard is underlaid with several colored wood veneers, as is the heelcap and headstock face. The thick white composite fingerboard binding is unusual for a Stewart build but appears original; if it was added, it was a LONG time ago. The rim is double-spun inside and out, which is also somewhat unusual for a Stewart instrument. While perhaps a bit of a mystery this is a high-grade and lovely end-of-the-19th-century banjo, a beautiful survivor of the age.

Overall length is 36 in. (91.4 cm.), 10 7/8 in. (27.6 cm.) diameter head, and 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 26 1/2 in. (673 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1/4 in. (32 mm.).

This is a nicely preserved banjo overall, and quite a good player within its period limits. Nearly all the hardware appears original including a complete set of hooks and nuts, Champion tuners and Elite tailpiece. The 5th string peg is later, as is of course the plastic head and the bridge. There is not much wear overall considering this banjo is at least 120 years old, some general wear to the finish and plating and dings and dents to the rim and hoop.

The elaborate pearl-and-wire inlay is all perfectly preserved, the ebonized heelcap shows one tiny shallow split. At some point someone drilled a hole in the dowel for a plate resonator, but that could be easily filled if desired. As with most Stewart banjos the neck is not perfectly straight, but quite suitable for the NylGut strings fitted. It has been noticeably shimmed to achieve a good playing action but is very solid. This is a lovely instrument, a very good player's 19th century style banjo and quite a showpiece for 19th century style fancy inlay work. Excellent - Condition.

The Eastman MD315 represents one of the absolute best values across the board of the mandolin world. Simply appointed, this instrument is a no excuses mandolin that will hold its own in a group session of any genre and will also record exceptionally well. This model tends to have a bit more of a woody tonal character than the upper level Eastman mandolins, which many folks prefer. The materials, craftsmanship, and components are of much higher quality than anything we have found in its price range. 1-3/32" nut width, radiused fretboard. Comes with a good quality gig bag from Eastman.

*Due to this being a quickly selling model, the instrument pictured may not be the actual instrument in stock.

The original Koa tree is endemic to Hawaii, where 'Koa' has various meanings- brave, bold, fearless, valiant, warrior...

but that's not what we have and not where we found it...
surprisingly, this beauty found us...

At Northfield we believe in locally sourced goods and materials, and a bit of destiny.

Unlock the door, step inside, and begins the Northfield morning ritual. Aromas dance in the shop, while the steaming kettle indicates 'it's time to pour', the coffee is brewing. Mug in hand, sifting mail. Sip, sip. It was a fresh day, with morning lights beaming in the windows, surely a sign of goodness. Goodness indeed... an unanticipated package. Inside--a strikingly gorgeous, small piece of wood, with a note--if you like this and are interested, give me a call". This takes us on a journey to meet Tom Petredean, at the River Basin Hardwoods in Homer, MI. Tom is the saw/slab father of the silver maple we call "Michigan Koa".

Why do we call it Koa? the color, the character, from the spalting and mineral deposits, and the figure, it ain't koa, but for us wintery northerners it reminds us of soft breezes and coconut drinks...

This solid-top A-style mandolin evokes the hugely popular instruments played by thousands of mandolin enthusiasts in clubs and orchestras during the early twentieth century. The sunburst finish on its curly maple back, sides and neck and on the carved solid spruce top is a tribute to those historic mandolins from the Midwestern US, while the installed transducer pickup prepares it for the demands of a modern musician. The fretboard is bound with white celluloid and the period-correct bridge is adjustable for height. Gold Tone's expert shop setup guarantees that each GM-50+ has excellent tone and playability. Available as left-handed model.

I got this mandolin in a big trade deal. I have no idea who built it. It was playable when I got it. All solid woods. Nice looking maple in the back and sides.

Here is a cool project. This is an early Gibson A1. Judging by the peg head shape and the remains of a pick guard on the top, this is a pre-1907 instrument. The neck has been steamed out and both the body and the back of the neck have been sanded for refinishing.

No additional hardware is available and there is no case, but it will be packed well for shipping. Sold AS IS.

I like teaching folks of all levels. If someone enjoys playing, I enjoy teaching them. I am very experienced in teaching beginners. My background in ergonomics means I teach efficient mechanics plus I can also help many folks with pain and overuse injury issues.

Mandolin specialties taught

Bluegrass and if desired the tune and improvising styles of Bill Monroe and Sam Bush.

Old time tunes played by many mandolinists and fiddlers.

Texas style fiddle tunes arranged for mandolin.

Jazz tunes and improvisation, swing and especially the bebop era of the 1940s and 1950s. For bebop I can teach the Barry Harris method for which I’ve made many videos.

General improvisation.

Ergonomics studies for more efficiency in mechanics and also overuse pain care.
