    It's been a few years since I owned one of each but the 5 bar (to the best of my memory) had more low end. Seems like it was also throwing off more overtones. Kevin thanks for your generous offer:)

    Two bar Northfield f5 w/Italian spruce top

    I'm uncertain why this happens but when my wife/partner/buddy is gone for any period of time MAS creeps up on me. There is no logic and I am so, so happy with my two current F5's.

    All of that to...
