Thats a problem with Michael Cleveland who is a fine fellow, and a great fiddler!
He has a tendency to show up at amateur jams when he is not on the road.

There is one in mandolin classifieds right now
I've liked the Casin picks D'Addario
Markets as the Chris Thile picks.
For longevity Blue Chips wear longer
Looks nice
If Bill Monroe would have seen a A5 in a barbershop window in 1947
This would be a very different conversation!
Contact info?
I see some reviews from 2009 but it seems they no longer build them..no web info.
Are they retired?
I change every 3 months
I like the volume and "bite "
Of new strings !
I said in my post, I might be narrow minded.
Eastman is a good mando for the money
But from everything I've heard the Northfield
Is in A totally differently class!
Like the Rolling Stones song
I have a mando and I want it painted black
No sunburst anymore, I want it to turn black
Cheers,
Rick
thanks for the replys many of which made good sense!
I could use more homework, but im certainly not "trolling"
I have two mandolins, one Eastman which is nice for for the price, and one mid level American luthier built, Which is a better mando as you would expect
I have never played a Northfield, but...
I realize there a wide range
Some change strings every 3 weeks,
Others every 6 months.
I know how often most guitar players (often) and banjo players (less often)
But mandolin players???
Is there anyone who engraved trusted pre existing
Truss rod covers
If Bill Monroe had never found a mandolin for sale in a Tampa barber shop in 1942, y'all would be playing A5's
I seem to have an acceptable ear for music and have no problem tuning a guitar or a banjo. For some reason instrument with unison strings like a mandolin gives me. challenge because they never sound...
