Folkway is a Kentucky mandolins dealer; we have been for a while - but we thought it would be a good idea to show them off a bit. Like all instrument sold though our shop, all of out Kentuckys are lovingly set up (not a small task), and play perfectly when we're through. Our set ups include adjusting the nut and truss rod, polishing the frets, widening the string spacing at the bridge and adjusting the string slots; adjusting the action, tightening the tailpiece, and oiling the tuners...

Kentucky Artist KM-805
Our first chance to offer the new generation of Kentucky Artist F-model mandolins comes with the 805. With the pearl block inlays and the torch headstock, all you have to do is play it for 75 years to make a dead ringer for Sam Bush's trusty steed. Kentucky mandolins continue to be today's best value in hand-made professional quality instruments that can be afforded by all. Each Artist series f-model mandolin is hand carved and graduated from the finest mountain spruce and northern maple for the best tonal characteristics. The KM-805 has a radiused rosewood fingerboard for comfortable easy play and the traditional "torch-style" peghead inlay for those who like a more simple vintage look. One piece maple neck with dovetail joint at 15th fret. Bone nut and high-quality nickel-plated Gotoh tuners with engraved plate and removable buttons.
