Ha! I'd like to walk my dog in your neighborhood some time!

I think this is what you're supposed to be wearing:

Ha, I didn't realize that I was reading a three year old thread until the last post! I've a relative newcomer to the mandolin world, only really been digging into it for the past couple years. ...

I haven't seen one of these in person yet, but I think they look great, and they sound good in the hands of the players Northfield has posted videos of. I have a Northfield Model M that I love, and...

I had the same question when I first started getting interested in mandolins. I didn't know about the Mandolin Cafe then. As I recall, it was a little confusing trying to figure out whether Gibson...

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i interface, Garage Band, and a AudioTechnica AT2020 microphone. All pretty basic stuff, but it's been fun to learn on. It's been very interesting learning to work with...

That is all fine, but the flight crew still retains all the discretion it needs to deny an instrument in the cabin on a crowded flight. You can't rely on this language, and I would never travel with...

I also bought a Northfield recently, and I love it. These Calhouns look really cool. I'd love to try one. Great choice, and good luck with the learning.

My Kentucky KM-270 lives in this one:

OP was asking about an A model. Eastman makes one — MD404. I’ve never seen one from Kentucky.

I'm on the edge of my seat here!

I get people telling me I look like Tom Petty. Unfortunately, no one's ever told me I sound like him.

Guitars: Martin 00-18 and Blueridge BR-163A.

Mandolins: Northfield Model M and Kentucky KM-270.

I’ve been a daily guitar player for years, typically playing at least an hour a day. I got a mandolin about a year ago. I upgraded my mandolin recently and have been devoting more and more of my...

I love it. Sounds great, feels great, and is super fun to play. The varnish finish and Nugget tailpiece are two appointments that I especially like. I went through a guitar upgrade process over a...

I was wondering that too. I've read a ton of Northfield threads here (leading to my acquisition of a Model M), and I don't recall ever hearing about any finish issues. I can say that the varnish...

It's pretty hard for anyone to tell you what to do, since we all have different taste. I'm a fairly new mando player/long-time guitar player too, but I much prefer a thicker pick on the mandolin...

As a seller, it would be tough for me to accept "I don't like how it sounds" as the sole reason for a return. I think it's impossible to ascertain in 24-48 hours whether an instrument "sounds good",...

My Northfield Model M, which I've had for about a month now. Love it love it love it! It has a unique (for this model) burst and top binding. Single piece back. I don't know...

Kentucky KM-270 (will probably sell)
Northfield Model M

I decided to upgrade after about a year with the Kentucky. I love the Northfield, which I've had for about a month now. I haven't listed...

It stands to reason that a carved instrument would be more expensive than a flattop. Still difficult to generalize, though. The $900-$1,000 Eastman guitars I’ve played seem pretty equal in terms of...

Yeah, it looks like he supplies the same strap to various companies stamped with their logos. Mine looks like the one pictured above, and I’ve seen the same thing on Banjo Ben’s site and elsewhere. ...

I just received a Ronny Harrison strap that I ordered through the Northfield store. I’ve always found it difficult to find guitar and mando straps that I really love, but I don’t need to look any...

Congrats! I’ve been playing my new Northfield Model M for a week now, and I’m loving it more every day. Hats off to Northfield. The build quality is outstanding, and it’s just a delight to play.

I’ve carried an 00-sized guitar in a Hiscox case on probably two dozen flights over the past 5 years, including international flights, and I’ve been able to carry it on in all but two flights. But,...
