Description
15 years ago, Northfield introduced the ‘Big Mon’, a mandolin that pushed the boundaries of tone, power, and presence. Now, as the model approaches its 15th anniversary, they have unveiled a new version – one part new, three parts tried and true.
True, because this model is a refinement of everything learned since the ‘Big Mon’ debut. This model integrates innovative refinements that reflect Northfield’s commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
Tried, because they have spent years honing our craft, selecting materials, and developing details that have been meticulously considered, ensuring that this mandolin is not only a joy to play but also a future heirloom, destined to be cherished for generations.
