Northfield NFS-F5EW Engelmann Black Top Wide Nut F-Style Mandolin (#S220902)
For Sale
Regular price T$3,695

Northfield's mandolins offer amazing craftsmanship, superb playability, and a rich, throaty voice, making them tough to beat at any price.
The NFS-F5EWN is part of Northfield's S-Series. The F5S is simply appointed but beautifully crafted, with a style that is traditional yet unique.
Tonally, Northfield has done a remarkable job of reproducing the complex, played-in quality you'd expect from a 100-year-old instrument. Northfield's mandolins are big, warm, and powerful--it's a tone that you can feel as much as hear.
This Northfield has an Engelmann spruce top, which offers a slightly warmer, sweeter tone than the Adirondack models.
It still has plenty of power and volume, but to our ears it's a bit less bright than Adirondack and would make a good choice for players seeking a somewhat mellower sound.
This mandolin has been customized with a 1-3/16" wide nut. This is 1/16" wider than a stander 1-1/8" nut, a difference of approximately 5%.
Optional black top finish.
Includes gray Airloom Recurve hard case.
