The Korena take
Kentucky’s KM-156 is a right-handed A-style mandolin with a solid carved German spruce top, solid Alpine maple back and sides, and a slim Alpine maple neck. The rosewood fingerboard and adjustable rosewood bridge form the playing surface and bridge arrangement, while nickel-plated open-gear tuners handle tuning. Its transparent brown, high-gloss finish gives the instrument its visual identity. A Kentucky-logo ProTour BV-2520 Mandolin Gig Bag is included, making it ready to pack up for a rehearsal, studio session, or stage call.
