I traded for a 340 a couple of years ago to have a 'beater' that i didn't have to worry too much about ... and i gotta tell you, Kentucky's A models are the most 'bang for the buck' in the $200-$400 price range hands down!
Re: Kentucky KM-250S. It’s really hard to tell just from what information you have. That model went through a lot of changes through the years. In the 1990s they were Korean made and had a solid spruce top with laminated back and sides. When production moved to China they became all solid woods.
16 lip 2014 · 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. Sound Rating: 10.
This affordable Kentucky A-style mandolin features solid wood bound body of spruce top and maple back and sides in a gloss brown finish, bound rosewood fingerboard on mahogany neck, and adjustable ebony bridge.
The main differences will be that the KM-250 Mandolin uses slightly higher grades of woods, upgraded tuners and has a radiused fingerboard. Whether or not the flat fingerboard on the KM-150 is a disadvantaged, is really more of a personal call.
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.
We're selling this Kentucky KM-250S Mandolin because it just doesn't get played anymore. My daughter was playing it, and got very efficient at it, but decided she doesn't want to play anymore. So it's up for sale. It's a very nice sounding mando, as I was surprised by the sound that came out of it.
