I have played a lot of mandolins and I like this Northfield Mandolin more than some of the upper-end Weber's, Gibson's and Colling's I've played. If you're looking for a new mandolin, you should test-drive a Northfield before making your decision, and if you're in Nashville, the folks down at Cotten Music Center (615) 383-8947 are the people to call.
