### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth it
*by R***Y on March 12, 2020*

When my wife saw me looking at ukuleles on-line, she said that if was going to buy another instrument, she would like a mandolin. Since I really don’t need another ukulele (does anyone need more than eight? – that’s rhetorical – of course they do), I took that as permission to acquire a mandolin. Not wanting to spend a ton of money on an instrument that neither of us was sure we would play much, I proceeded to do my usual exhaustive research.I didn’t want to go with a really cheap instrument because I know they can be more trouble than they are worth. I decided to purchase an Ibanez model that seemed to hit the sweet spot between price and performance. When it arrived there was a small problem with it and I had to return it. In a way that was fortunate because my wife didn’t care for how it looked and I wasn’t impressed with it either, though I am sure it would have been adequate for our use. I didn’t want to go cheaper, so I figured I would bite the bullet and upgrade to what I considered to be a better mandolin. Thus this Kentucky KM-270.The first impression was that this was a very nice mandolin. For the price, I expected it to be. I could not find any construction flaws and the finish was great. The fretboard was straight and the frets were fine with a good action. The bridge came set correctly, including intonation. I didn’t need to do any set-up. The only issue was that the strings were obviously corroded. I am sure this was from sitting around in a box for some time. I had purchased a set of strings “just in case” and got to use them sooner than I expected. I got to know the mandolin by doing a complete restringing.This mandolin sounds much better than I will probably ever be able to play it, and it certainly will satisfy my wife’s desire to have something to “play around with.” I really like the oval sound hole as compared to the f-hole models. It has a nice mellow sound that is appropriate for the type of playing that my wife and I do. We are not into bluegrass, being rather inclined to folk and Celtic music.I was considering buying a gig bag that had the Kentucky logo on it, but wanted to wait until I got the mandolin. It’s a good thing I did, because it came with the gig bag, and it’s a very nice one. Very heavy duty, though the accessory pocket could be a bit more voluminous. Still, it’s big enough to get a tuner, a sling and a wiping rag into.For the money, in spite of costing more than what I had originally wanted to spend, I think this mandolin is worth it. It sounds good and looks good, and is all the mandolin I will ever need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Set up was great!
*by A***R on August 1, 2024*

I selected the Kentucky KM 272 due to the solid wood top, sides and back, and the radius fretboard. It arrived today and the set-up was great. No need to adjust the truss rod, or the bridge for the intonation. Also, the bridge was fitted to the sound board properly, no need for it to be adjusted either. Right out of the box, all I had to do was tune the strings. What a relief. The mandolin is great, with beautiful maple figuring on the back. Totally satisfied. I've also bought a Sega Cremona SV-500 Violin. Pretty much the same great experience. I'm very thankful for Sega to produce these quality instruments at entry level pricing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kentucky  KM-- 272 model mandolin
*by C***R on April 16, 2024*

Though I also have a higher end model, this Kentucky KM- 272 is without question, both the best looking and playing model I have found for the money. It plays really well and has a powerful sound too.
