Re: Took a huge leap and upgraded to a Northfield A5 Special
I have said this before in the forum. A few years back I visited Elderly Instruments while traveling through Michigan. I played every mandolin hanging on the walls including several Northfields and many much higher $ mandos. All the Northfields sounded very good. One F style Northfield, to my ear, stood out above every mandolin in the store. Had it not been an F style it would have been going home with me. Even over the next few days I kept contemplating whether or not I could live with an F style and whether or not to call Elderly to buy it.
I'm reasonably certain you will enjoy your new mandolin. Happy Picking!
