Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The KM-140 is a right-handed A-style mandolin with a solid carved German spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a slim mahogany neck. Kentucky describes its response as crisp and bright with clear articulation, alongside warm resonance from the spruce-and-mahogany build. The rosewood fingerboard, adjustable rosewood bridge, and nickel-plated open-gear tuners round out the working hardware. Its high-gloss sunburst finish gives it a traditional look, and the padded ProTour BV-2520 bag provides protection when taking it to practice or the stage.
