Northfield Workshop's NFB-F5AWN Big Mon mandolin features a larger body and f-holes for more mids, more bass, and increased volume with less effort. This one has an Adirondack (red) spruce top and figured Northeastern red maple back, sides, and neck. A premium hand-rubbed spirit varnish finish (with a thin lacquer topcoat for protection), and a violin varnish neck with a wide 1-3/16" nut width for comfortable play. The Big Mon offers world-class handcrafted quality and a highly desirable sound at an impressive price.
