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.
Re: Kentucky KM-250S. I have an older KM-250 made in China. It is all solid wood and absolutely worth $175. I had a great luthier set it up and change the string spacing a bit, and it plays very well. It is LOUD and has pretty good tone. Do not expect anything other than a serviceable, decent instrument, though.

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.
