Music festivals are a great way to get out and meet like-minded people, pick a few tunes and get some sun. Your first time to a festival may be a little intimidating. Don`t let this stop you. Arm yourself with the Michael Kelly Festival Pack from Folkmusician and join in the fun!
We take the Festival Pack and optimize it with a nice setup and fret job. There is a noticible difference between our version and those purchased elsewhere.
The Legacy Festival Pack includes everything you need to start playing. It includes a Festival quality mandolin with all solid woods and a hand carved solid spruce top. In addition to the mandolin the pack includes a semi-hard case, tuner, mandolin strap and picks. Since sound is the top priority at Michael Kelly we made sure that this mandolin had that tone that you are looking for. You get a dovetail neckjoint, Graphtech nut,
rosewood bridge and an extra thin satin finish to allow all of the tone to get out. Like all MK mandolins this has upgraded tuners made by Grover and an extended fingerboard that has been scalloped down to enhance playability. This is the one that you must have before your next festival, jam session or practice.

Additional work performed in the Folkmusician shop:
Truss rod is adjusted.
Fretboard is leveled and dressed so that the string height may be lowered without buzzing.
Nut is filed to lower the string height and insure the strings fit correctly (very important).
Bridge work is done as needed to assure proper string height and eliminate buzzing.
Bridge is positioned so that the mandolin has proper intonation and plays in tune.
String grooves are properly fit to the string and lubricated with graphite to eliminate buzz and reduce string breakage.
Tailpiece receives work (as needed), to prevent buzzing.
Tuners are lubricated to help them turn smoothly.
Instrument is tuned and played before making any final adjustments.
These steps take up a great deal of time and require the mandolin to be restrung and tested multiple times while the work is being performed.
This is what sets our mandolins apart from those purchased elsewhere. Even though the mandolin may be the same model, our version will have an improvement in playability and tone.
