No idea but they should send one to you, Los Hermanos Cubero is still killing it!

No idea but they should send one to you, Los Hermanos Cubero is still killing it!
I’ve owned a Northfield Calhoun, and also an Arches ft-o, which is a similar flat top mandolin. I really liked both, but my favorite mandolin for blues is a 50’s Di Mauro with a deeper body, that is...
We know from the ad that the tuners are German-made, but no comment on the instrument itself. There is a similar mandolin from a private seller that is very clearly advertised and at 40% the price. ...
Feel bad for the buyer. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion
Looks nice!
I have a Di Mauro from the 50s that is a great mandolin. These are sleepers if you consider the current price of French guitars from that time period.
Really hopeful that single cutaway is electric
I have and really enjoy that excellent book. Mine directed me to a website on the first page with a passcode to stream the audio files - I assume yours did not? I would reach out to the publisher.
Hopefully that Skipper will speak to somebody and will make them very happy, at a good price. There’s a 48 hour approval period, minus PayPal fees and return shipping.
I had a great experience with a recent Octave mandolin order. Very nice people.
Is the reading on the hygrometer reasonably close to the reading on the humidifier when they are in the same part of the room?
I done both and I really like both.
Chris Henry relies heavily on learning by ear. A little harder at the outset but you remember the songs better. Chris also has organizing principles for the...
I love Michael Daves’s choices on that album. Really catchy improvisational ideas, always in service to the melody. And they sing well together.
Putting proficiency aside, there are circumstances where it’s nice to have an economical instrument. I would start with a basic instrument until you have a feel for what works best in this...
Same experience here. Got a great deal on a new one from the mandolin store. Right out of the box it sounds great, thanks it part to a finish that doesn’t get in the way of the instrument doing its...
The label looks the same as this reverb sale two years ago

Different price, and a different truss rod cover
I’m resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has had more experience with these. I’m curious how they relate in quality to Northfield and the the high-end Kentucky and Eastman mandolins. Thanks
RIP. My favorite player. In his own style is a great instructional video
I believe Northfield made the carved top Model M in the Michigan workshop
This branding initiative reminds me of the D’Angelico Ukulele
James tailpiece and cured back.
I’ve never played an instrument with Bosnian maple.
Northfield at that price point has a finish that is very conducive to good tone.
Did changing the tailpiece lead to a noticeable difference in sound? Thanks
Nothing sounds like an early Gibson oval hole mandolin, including every other early Gibson oval home mandolin.
They’re great, but unlikely to be as easy to play and maintain as the Collings.
Mr. Statman always brings it!
Does anybody know which Loar he originally sold?
I respect what Chris Thile has done with his talents, both in developing his gift, and supporting other musicians. He got a nice kick in the teeth at the start of the pandemic when Live From Here...
There is a very good vibe in Chris’s videos and I have found him to be very friendly. He is a top-shelf player and he has put some thought into the organizing principles he presents. The first...
