For the working musician there is nothing more important than having great sounding and reliable instrument. Kentucky now offers the redesigned KM-850 to satisfy that demand. Kentucky luthiers hand-select the best close-grained German spruce and figured Alpine maple to use in the construction of each instrument. The result is a thoroughly professional instrument with a tone and playability that is unmatched by any other mandolin in this price range. Gig bag and pro set up included.
