    Re: Use of D'addario Humidpaks for mandolins

    I've used the Oasis system for years without any problems, and I see Northfield just recently started selling them, so that should tell you something. You just need a way to keep an eye on the...

    Re: I don't like F styles. Anyone else?

    This isn't the first time I've heard someone mention that the point digs into their leg and is uncomfortable, and I just can wrap my head around that. Does it weigh 20lbs? But, I also rest the point...

    Re: F Mandolin gig bag

    Another Gator user here and it has done the job nicely for me. I've even flew with it in the overhead compartment on a plane.

    Re: New Mandolin Day!

    No need to wait, just open it up and enjoy it when it comes. I fall in love with my F5S's tone all over again every single day. Have fun! :)

    Re: Strings By Mail

    I bought some picks from them a couple weeks ago and was impressed when they sent a personalized note along with my order. I would most definitely use them again when the need arises.

    Re: James tailpiece on a Northfield F5S?

    To add another question, I had once removed the screws from the tailpiece on my F5S and could not get the tailpiece to budge. Is there something more to it? I didn't want to put too heavy of a hand...

    Re: Northfield is simply nailing it lately

    Nailing it lately? My 2014 NF-FS5 is pretty spectacular! I couldn't have picked a better first mandolin, and I am still inspired every time I play something on it. :)

    Re: D'Addario - Seeking Mandolin Beta Testers

    I've had my set on since October 23rd, and they aren't giving up. They still sound great- maybe even better now. I play for at least an hour a day, sometimes more. The tone of these strings on my...

    Re: gentle cleaning MD315

    I'm a fan of Virtuoso cleaner as far as products go. I use it, and their polish (very sparingly) on my satin finished Northfield NF-FS5. The polish made it shine more than a satin finish should, but...
  13. Re: Which Blue Chip most closely resembles a Wegen bluegrass pick

    Doh!
  14. Re: Which Blue Chip most closely resembles a Wegen bluegrass pick

    I have a BlueChip TAD-1R 50, and the Wegen TF140. With exception of my 1R corner on the BlueChip, the picks are exactly the same shape. The Wegen seems just slightly thicker.

    Re: D'Addario - Seeking Mandolin Beta Testers

    The strings I replaced were less than a month old and were coated. If they needed changing, maybe it wouldn't have been such a PITA. In any case, it was worth it, and I owed to to D'Addario to put...

    Re: D'Addario - Seeking Mandolin Beta Testers

    Finally got around to putting my set on a few minutes ago. (I hate changing strings). So far I really like them. They feel smoother. Tone is brighter than the heavy D'Addario coated strings I had on...

    Re: Northfield finish issues

    My 2014 still looks brand new, and STILL puts a smile on my face every time I think about it- When I play it, I'm grinning ear-to-ear. Tone to die for! :)

    I got my F5S a few months ago and could not be happier. It was my first mandolin after playing guitar exclusively for many years. It's a really great instrument and I fall more in love with it every...

    Re: Blue Chip Recommendations please

    I was going to suggest a "-1R" just for that extra versatility. I bought a TAD-1R 50 for my guitar, and when I decided to learn how to play mandolin, it transitioned perfectly for me. I find myself...

    Re: New Northfield and some pics

    I couldn't be happier with this NF-FS5. The tone, the playability, the way it projects, sustains, and resonates. Granted, it's the first mandolin I've ever played, but I'm not new to acoustic guitar...
