A new mandolin family instrument has been added to The Music Emporium inventory:

Northfield A5 Special Black Top

Fresh in from Northfield's Qingdao workshop, we've got this Black Top version of their A5 Special mandolin. Master-grade Italian Spruce, Red Maple back and sides, and that eye-catching rich black finish come together in a competitively priced A model mandolin that holds its own against any others on the market. And much like the sunburst A5 Special, this is an instrument with plenty of power that doesn't sacrifice warmth or openness. Reach out to us today if you'd like an in-hand description! Priced with hard case.
