Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a right-handed player, the KM-950 is an A-style mandolin that combines a compound-radius, radiused ebony fingerboard with medium frets and a scooped extension over the body. Kentucky presents that layout for fast, accurate work in rhythm and lead playing. Its solid carved spruce top is described as providing note clarity, with solid highly flamed maple back and sides adding punch. The slim maple neck, adjustable rosewood bridge, nickel-plated open-gear tuners, and high-gloss Vintage Sunburst finish complete the package. A ProTour BV-2520 Kentucky-logo gig bag is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rhythm and lead mandolin parts that call for fast, accurate playing.
- Stage or studio work needing clear notes with added punch.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed mandolin.
- Players seeking an F-style body rather than an A-style mandolin.
