    Default Northfield NF2S Sound

    A little while ago I was fortunate to happen upon a Northfield F2. I'm very glad I did. The sound and smoothness of playing is fantastic. One of the best mandolins I've encountered.

    Sounds fantastic! I'm a big fan of the hybrid oval hole mandos. Versatile instruments.

    I was really surprised. The volume is fantastic. I led an Irish session with 4 fiddlers, a flute player, pennywhistle, a banjo and two guitars, and the melodies and accompaniment cut right through.

    I played a Northfield blacktop F-2 at the IBMA in Raleigh some years back and was sorely tempted to buy it. Even in the din of the exhibitors hall I could tell it was a good one. However, my wife and I were on the verge of moving from Raleigh to Florida so we were purging belongings not buying them. Great mandolin tho.
