Pros & Cons
Pros
Great value for the money. Holds a tune well.
Beautiful sound, beautiful to look at. It is everything that fella said, and is prettier than i expected. However, this mandolin is the best sounding one i've ever had.
The km-150 is outstanding value for the money. The case is very nice. Worth every penny. Overall i'm very satisfied with my purchase.
Great for a beginner. As a new player, the size is a bit of a challenge. It keeps my wife happy though and she enjoys it.
The top is solid spruce, pretty thick and not laminated. Construction and finish are very good also. I have a laminate baby martin guitar which is very good.
Cons
Took it out of the packaging and put it right back in the packaging. Needed a setup real bad. Ended up getting a kentucky km- 250 (used) for a lot less money.
