    My local store just became a Michael Kelly dealer. I finally had a chance to play one, the Legacy model priced at $449. It was pretty, but up close there were too many visual flaws. If it had been set-up, the person should die a slow death. I worked on it quickly and got the bridge in the ballpark and brought it up to pitch. The fretwork was good. Because of the bad set-up I won't comment on the tone. Other than a scroll I did not see this particular instrument being worth twice the price of the Epiphone MM-30 which I think is a superb value. If the fellow that started this thread really is on a $200 budget I'd not suggest the added expense of this Michael Kelly to be worth it, as he'd be upgrading either one in just about the same time frame.

    Hi I'm new to the mandolin too -

    I bought a bestler on ebay I have no idea of how it compares to any other models but I'm satisfied with it.

    It didn't come setup but using the tuning lesson from the cafe and an electronic tuner I seem to have got it in tune.

    Their are a lot of mandolins on ebay though I would avoid internationalmusic.org - where I got mine - it took almost 2 months to get here and the promised case and cable weren't with it...
