Martin C1K Uke

Full Description

Immaculate tone

Crafted from koa, the C1K ukulele allows you to experience a wash of glistening textures, rich harmonies, and sparkling clarity. Its tone is located between that of maple and rosewood, meaning you have a gorgeous blend of warm resonance as well as shimmering brightness. Let every note shine with crisp definition. From the moment the sound escapes this wondrous tonewood, it is sure to slice through the air and captivate anyone who listens. Practice your strumming or fingerpicking styles knowing every nuance of your tone will be crystal-clear. Even with softest of touches, you will be truly enchanting.

The beauty of koa is that it grows more beautiful with age, so you can cherish its organic Hawaiian nature for years to come. The more the C1K is played, the more your sound will open up - presenting you with endless possibilities. Brightness, resonance, clarity, you name it, koa just keeps on giving. It is the perfect ukulele material for enthusiasts who want an authentic concert tone.

Play without limits

One of the most admirable and enticing qualities of Martin is their passion for providing smooth, effortless playability. Slide from fret to fret in effortless, silky smooth fashion thanks to the satin finish of the select hardwood neck - it ensures you are promised the utmost playability. And when you're holding such an exquisite concert body shape, you can count on exceptional volume and a beautiful depth of sound that is suitable for a range of playing styles. Bigger than standard sized soprano ukes, the concert size offers a comfortable playing experience for larger fingered players and ukulele beginners alike.

Long lasting quality

Demonstrating Martin's meticulous design and manufacturing process, this uke has been handmade with fantastic attention to detail. With sturdy bracing, robust tonewoods, and strong construction, this instrument will thrive however hard you play, wherever you are. Gorgeous simplicity and beauty radiate from the natural aesthetic of koa, made even more stunning by the satin finish and understated fret inlays. Such an exquisite instrument needs quality protection to ensure it remains in immaculate condition. Thankfully, a padded gig bag comes with the Martin C1K Ukulele to ensure it is safe from any knocks and scrapes on the road.
