The Northfield Archtop Octave Mandolin is available in two distinct material combinations. The mahogany and spruce model yields a warmth perfect for accompanying a voice and backing up other instruments. The maple and spruce combo offers an attack and crispness that can carve out a sonic space within an ensemble, making it possible to be heard even when played in the lower registers.
