| The entry level / intermediate market in mandolins
has definitely heated up in recent years. Previously you simply could
not get anything but a pressed solid top and laminate back & sides
instrument in the under $600.00 market but all of that has changed in recent
years.
A few years ago we started seeing all solid, true
carved instruments being issued in price points that were unheard of ...
albeit with varying & inconsistent sonic results. Well if these
KM-505 mandolins are any indication of what is to come, the future
definitely looks bright. I can categorically say that these mandolins
sound as good as instruments we were selling for three times the price
a couple of years ago. These are very VERY impressive sounding mandolins
at an unbelievable price!!! |
