"I built my own guitars for a long time, because I could never find a guitar that was the way I liked them from the start. Finally a buddy of mine told me about Michael Kelly Guitars and I tried one. The guitars I built feel like they've been abandoned...... THAT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE!! Once you sink your fingers into a Michael Kelly...... you're stuck!!!"

"I'm a violin player that's just learning to play the mando. I LOVE playing the Michael Kelly and it's quickly working it's way into our tunes! Thanks for providing it!
Terry Casey , The Fenians - Legacy Phoenix
Jonathan Lawson - Dragonfly
Howard Willing - Legacy Dragonfly Flame - As for the mandolin it is a fantastic piece. The quality of construction is some of the best I’ve seen. As for the sound, well, it is perhaps one of the best sounding mandolins I have heard. Full and rich in tone and very well balanced. I am surprised at the roundness of the low end – it makes for a supremely easy instrument to play as well as record."
