Bought it , thanks a lot to everybody.

I put a James on and it went straight on no problem. The one which is 'stuck' just needs a little gentle persuasion. Stanley knife or similar. Maybe hardrier for 3 seconds or so but no more.

The tailpiece may be stuck to the finish. Be very careful and pull it off.

Congrats, I love my Northfield going on 5 years now. I don't do anything special except blow the dust off when I notice it. I wipe things down when I change strings. I gouged the top with my...

I have to agree that Reischman's tone is top-notch. How much of it is his Loar versus his particular style of playing, I dunno. But he always sounds great.

It's really difficult to judge tone as...

Got into them a few years ago. They have 5 or 6 great albums and there are a lot of free videos. Their live stuff it quite good too. Great, honest music.

Hey, not sure if people have seen Mandolin Orange play recently, but in this video I spotted he has a fancy new mandolin. I've never seen one quite like it, with a large flowerpot on the head stock...

Hi everyone. Have spent some time on this. Called the store that sold it and 2 of our staff members called the owner 3 different times. Turns out its not the finish, or an adherence problem or a...

So I just had my Northfield F5S delivered to the house, She is Beautiful and I would like to thank Sean @ TEJON STREET MUSIC in Colorado Springs for working with me and sending pictures back and...

From the OP - "..and I guess the seller neglected to include the wrench.". Most times,a truss rod adjusting socket isn't included at all. I've had 2 Webers from new & they didn't come with a...

If you have a 1/4" drive socket set there would be a 5/16" socket in it. The should fit it just fine.

The one that came with my F-5s seems to be a 5/16.

Props on a great mando to start with.
What I have to chip in with is a heads up on the right hand. I started on guitar years and years ago and when I started the mando I didn't think twice about...

I have been using a looper for practice too. I lay down a guitar and bass loop and then practice improvising or rythem chopping. I find it fun and helpful and a change of pace from just playing solo....

I've read every reply so please forgive me if this has already been mentioned. free online mandolin lessons. com has been a good resource for me. It has a lot of tunes from several genres and play...

Malin, SW,

Mike Marshall teaches through Artistworks online, and I think that would be a good avenue if you aren't able to find a local teacher. He'll be able to give you videotaped feedback...

I started to play in October and I'm absolute in love! I never played a stringed instrument before though , so everything was new to me. Don Julin's book is great. At the moment I enjoy a lot...

Beautiful mandolin, and some great advice above! You've come to the right place for all things mandolin. You'll be surprised at the friendliness and knowledge you find here from every type and level...

Just playing along with David Grisman is a cool thing....Northfield I bet sounds awesome...

Iam looking into getting on of them Northfield mandolins, I have played 2 of them and they sound great, I was looking at the Collings and Weber but cost lot more cash, so I figured I could get one of...

What a great first mandolin! Great suggestions here from the forum.
