More details about Northfield Big Mon Mandolin
The Northfield Big Mon Mandolin has been inspired the classic Lloyd Loar model that Bill Monroe made so famous back in the 1930’s.
The legendary Gibson F-5 style mandolin that Bill played has become the heart and soul of Bluegrass music and without that powerful “rhythm chop” it can never truly be Bluegrass music. Bluegrass music aside, these mandolins will rock a mandolin players socks off.
The mandolin was to Bill Monroe what the Stratocaster was for Jimi Hendrix. they both created a new unique sound that had never been heard before.
We are happy to become the Australian dealer for these magnificent mandolins.
