Northfield A-5 Special Mandolin

Many mandolin players will say to never underestimate a really good teardrop model. When the same quality materials and craftmanship is applied they can prove that those fancy scrolls and other adornments are not always neccessary in order to produce a great sounding mandolin. If you only need an instrument that gets the job done, then A-5 Special this could be the one for you without the expense.

Our model has a slightly wider neck that has become very popular with modern players.

All mandolins can be taylored to your particlar requirements a choice of timbers, bracing, sunbursts and neck widths are all available on request.
