“I stumbled upon my first Big Mon mandolin about six months ago, and couldn’t be happier to represent Northfield. I tried to choose between two Big Mons; one a rich yet delicate Englemann spruce top and the other a bright and responsive Red Spruce top. In the end, I had to have both. I chose one as my touring axe in the Noah Kahan band, while the other lives at home and frequents jams and sessions. Both offer such ease of playability, roundness of tone, and depth in the low end. I am excited to play these mandolins for years to come. ”
