  3. Re: What are the chances that a moderately-priced mandolin sounds

    FWIW The Music Emporium currently has a sunburst Eastman 815/v on the wall. I’ve played three Eastman 815/v mandolins. One was awesome, one was just OK, and one was a flat dud. I’m interested is...

    I checked the Klos website to see if they were any case stickers that they offer for sale, and I didn’t see any. Couldn’t find any pictures of any on Google, either.

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    Seems like for a while there new news was popping up every week or so. Been a while with no updates. Guess we got spoiled.

    Can we assume that the first production run will begin in April?

    Re: Advice on mandolin Upgrade

    Kentucky KM-950 master model. A body, radius fretboard, wide nut, jumbo frets. That’s the one he wants.

    $1399 is a good price, as I’m fairly sure they retail right at $2k. And the seller,...

    Man, those are nice. And all with wide nut. I particularly like the 3rd one (sucker for a blond).

    His parameters are clear & very popular with mandolin buyers. It's just his (much like my) budget that's limiting.

    I've always found their website to be very clear, with every model offered in regular, jumbo body (mandola body with a mandolin neck), wide nut, and jumbo/wide.

    Re: Aged-tone?

    In this case the term specifically refers to wood that has been kiln dried i.e. torrefied. It is a term used by Bourgeois for their torrefied products.

    It is purely a marketing term so they don't...

    He wants a Kentucky KM-950 Master Model, and who can blame him. Tough at that price point, though. Even used.

    There's also the Bourgeois M5A. I've only ever seen one for sale used. It's on...

    Re: Advice on mandolin Upgrade

    Good quality A-body with a radius fret board for ~$1k is easy. Wide nut (and jumbo frets, you didn't mention them but you want them, trust me) is harder.

    I'm thinking a used Kentucky KM-950? ...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    So all indications are that the mandolin will ship with D'Addario XS phosphor bronze 11-40 mediums. And be Pleked & set up for those strings. On a mandolin whose neck has no adjustable truss rod.

    It seems to me that this would be a video that Klos has already made, just on one of their guitars, rather than on the mandolin. I’m at work right now so I can’t go prowling YouTube. If nobody else...

    Re: the Loar VS Eastman VS Kentucky

    I disagree that The Loar is on the same level as Eastman/Kentucky. And IMO low tier Eastmans are superior to low tier Kentuckys.

    I agree with you that the undertaking represents a risk on the part of Klos. Fault will be measured when the final product is produced.
