Re: From Bozeman Flatirons to current mandolin technology
I had a 2001 (Nashville-built) Flatiron and Northfield at the same time.
Both EXCELLENT mandolins, but 'voicing' was different. The Flatiron was closer to my Gibson F5's than the Northfield - but as others have said, you really have to try them. It is 100% down to personal preference. Both very high quality instruments.
Gibson F5 'Harvey' Fern, Gibson F5 'Derrington' Fern

Northfield Big Mon #127
Ellis F5 Special #288
