Kentucky KM-150 mandolin [2.0 lbs] :: fit bridge foot and setup

Kentucky KM-150 mandolin [2.0 lbs] :: bridge foot fit and setup.

The bridge foot was better fit to the top to improve volume, tone and overall string transfer efficiency to the body.  The top of the bridge had sagged slightly where the middle strings were lower than the outer strings with respect to the fingerboard.  The outer string course bridge notches were filed to correct for this.  A few high frets were reseated, the nut slots adjusted and restrung with Ernie Ball 80/20 bronze alloy light strings.
