Red spruce top and a one-piece back make for sonic and aesthetic upgrades on an already superb, very popular F-model mandolin.

Why We Love This

Featuring a slightly enlarged F5 body, the Big Mon is a particularly responsive, airy and open sounding instrument. With a touch more volume and bass response than Northfield's standard F5, this master model mandolin has plenty of power and woody low end.

This particular Big Mon features an Adirondack spruce top for even more definition and headroom, paired with a lovely one-piece back, and all wrapped up with a very attractive tortoise binding scheme. We love the aesthetic and, more importantly, the sound.
