Northfield mandolins

500 here, 500 there...pretty soon you're talking real money...

Northfield had two price increases last year. One was for $2,000 - 2,500. The second one was for $2,500 - 3,000 on their F models. This represents a 50% price increase (from $2,000 to $3,000).

Even with the two price increases, Northfield's F5 at $3000. seems to be a bargain in reading all the reviews on it.

Quote: "Northfield has a great reputation for quality and $2500. for a F5 is very tempting!"

This quote is from the first page of this thread dated October 29, 2010, so Northfield did not have two price increases last year. I'm not sure when they went from $2000 to $2500, but certainly not last year.

Don't guess it really matter anyway - just to quote South Carolina's own Everette "Brent Hutto" Dirkson "500 here, 500 there...pretty soon you're talking real money... "

Absolutely! When I can hold my friends $25,000+ Gilchrist in one hand and my $2500 (when I bought it) Northfield in the other and come away feeling like the Northfield is every bit an equal in fit, finish, playability and tone, its obvious to me at least that Northfields (and I've played five of them) are WAY underpriced. I'd say to those who are sweating price increases, you'd better get your order in!

I thought you were going to say you had a new batch of mandolins on the way to Elderly and 20% off ! Might get the t-shirt after I get my new F5 ( #5 on list) at Elderly!

Congrats Keith. I've been eyeing that one for a while. Thanks for getting off the market so quickly lest I do something crazy... Looking forward to your impression of it once you get it in your hands

[Keith Witty]

My pleasure, sir. I acted quickly because last time misfortune struck. Didn't let it happen twice, though.

And as a reminder, way back when, I told you that you would be getting another mando soon! Listen to Uncle Dave, MASter of the obvious!

Thanks, DCov! I will forever consult you when I think MAS is setting in and there isn't any way I can help it. You will know the truth.

Big congratulations on your new F5, Keith. A big upgrade, indeed. Long may it sing in your hands! Of course we will be expecting photos and a video clip of your playing it posted to this thread. No pressure..

[Keith Witty]

Hope these work right. Just giving you guys a preview with some pics the seller emailed me. The last picture has a glare in it. I originally thought it was a horrible scuff, but it is not in any of the other pictures.

[MandoMan1]

Congratulations Keith! That mandolin is just beautiful. I was admiring the photo of it earlier today.

[Paul Statman]

Now, that's what I call a hot looking F5!

[George R. Lane]

Kieth,
Congratulations and I hope it ends your MAS.
