Amazing F-5 mandolin from the Northfield clan. This fine example features a lovely sunburst matte finish, excellent appointments, one piece back, impeccable fit and finish and a remarkable voice. Simply sensational!

Big, powerful sound. Deep, woody and well balanced. Excellent projection. Chunky bluegrass chop. Punchy.
Excellent-plus condition showing very minor playwear. Has a couple very tiny pings on the soundboard and a couple string scratches on the headstock. Shows some fretwear in the usual spots, but should not need a dressing for some time yet. Excellent setup.
