Good choice with the Northfield. It's good to have a mandolin that has a voice with power and depth. It will help inspire you.

Forgive me Mandolin Cafe Forum for I have sinned and recently purchased a used Derrington MM. Weird though, I don't feel guilty.

That's why the first half of your name is "Data". Well done. Bluegrass meets Newgrass.

Here are some pics Mr. Data and who ever else is interested.

I'll be offline for awhile. I'll post photos later. It might be a day or so before I get them posted. I don't see many f-5v on line and I figured they might not have made many.
