I have been looking at the KM 250s based on price and ratings at musiciansfriend.com. I was wondering if there is any one with some advice on this mandolin, or if there are any suggestions on a good mandolin in the $200-400 range. Thank you.

What is the difference between the Kentucky KM-150 and the KM-250 mandolin? In mid-2012 the Kentucky KM-150 mandolin production was moved to a new shop. This new shop produced a much better version of the KM-150 shortly after, it became one of the most recommended of the lower priced mandolins.
16 lip 2014 · Kentucky KM-250 Mandolin Reviews. Submitted by Muscle Tone (see all reviews from this person) on 7/16/2014. Where Purchased: Murphy's Music. Year Purchased: 2014. Price Paid: $249 ($US) (bought USED) Sound. This mandolin suprisingly has a very balanced sound. Mostly on the brighter side, but can really bark on the middle and bass strings as well.
4 kwi 2019 · 1980s Kentucky KM-200S Archtop A-Style Mandolin. This is an older, Japanese-made Kentucky KM-200S. These are a lot nicer than the current fare and this one features solid-wood construction (spruce over mahogany) throughout.
The radiused fretboard of the KM-250S was developed by Kentucky and mandolin virtuoso David Grisman to ease the wrist strain he was suffering from. Now, this feature that greatly enhances the instrument's playability is available at a lower price point.
