Product information

The A5 Special is an exciting development from our friends at Northfield Mandolins!

Incorporating a master-grade Italian spruce top and hand-applied spirit varnish finish, this mandolin will stand its ground against any A model on the market -- and at a nice price to boot!

Plenty of power, without sacrificing warmth or openness. Made in Northfield's Qingdao workshop on a limited basis ~ reach out to us today if you'd like an in-hand description! Priced with Airloom "Recurve" hardshell case.
