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.
