Kentucky KM-1050 Master F-Model Mandolin

The Kentucky FM-1050 mandolin has been a popular choice for professional and amateur players alike. It is a beautiful instrument with impeccable styling and excellent wood selection. It recalls 1920s mandolins that are still valued today. It is flawlessly rendered in a slowly fading tobacco sunburst.

Deering Sierra 19-fret Tenor Banjo

The Sierra’s Sierra’s pot assembly and 3 ply maple-rim rim, the -06 tone ring, and the zinc flange all match our entire line-up up to the Gabriella. There are some exceptions. The exceptions are Hartford’s Grenadillo wood tone ring and the Golden Era zinc flange. Terry Baucum’s tone ring -06 is slightly lighter than the standard -06 ring. The Tenbrooks banjos feature a Swiss Jens Kluger tone.
