Kentucky 8-String Mandolin, Brown (KM-120)

Inspired by mandolin designs that gained popularity during the First World War, the new KM-120 Army-Navy Special is a compact and rugged instrument that continues to offer a unique and pleasing tone. Originally used to boost morale and pass the time for soldiers and sailors overseas, the KM-120 stays true to its roots with a simple yet durable A-style flattop and flat-back design. Modern production techniques, top-quality materials, and professional fittings have been incorporated into the design to ensure that the KM-120 remains affordable and of exceptional value for students, amateurs, and mandolin enthusiasts at every level.

Constructed entirely of mahogany, the KM-120 features a traditional flat top and back that delivers that characteristic pleasing tone. The mahogany neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard and polished nickel-silver frets, providing comfortable and easy playability. High-quality 14:1 ratio nickel-plated open-gear tuners with white plastic buttons ensure reliable tuning stability. The mandolin also boasts a non-adjustable, compensated, and moveable rosewood bridge for perfect intonation, along with a bone nut that enhances note clarity.

To complete the package, the KM-120 is equipped with a nickel-plated tailpiece with a removable cover. Ideal for playing traditional Americana, Old-timey, and Celtic music, the KM-120 Army-Navy Special continues to be a favorite choice among musicians looking for an affordable and high-quality mandolin.
