Early Martin 1-C Concert Mahogany ukulele. In original condition. Full length of instrument is approximately 23 inches.
Ukulele has not been re-finished, 12 frets to the body, action very good, neck straight, bridge tight & secure. The Martin concerts did not have serial numbers, however it is my understanding that with the very small dot fret markers, bar frets and decal, would place this instrument roughly from 1938 to early '40s. Plays very well. Is a canon for sound. Has some age-appropriate wear for a ukulele of this age. Old professional repairs done to properly to close cracks with the time honored use of diamond shaped cleats to secure repair. I am not a Martin expert but this is a player’s player.
The concert body is larger than the regular ukulele and the strings are longer, increasing the volume of tone.
Sorry no case but rest assured it will be packed carefully with plenty of protection & of course insured.
