Frequently Asked Questions
It's richer and more refined than many budget all-mahogany models, thanks to Martin's wood selection and bracing – expect more sustain and clarity.
The selected hardwood neck has a standard 'C' shape profile which is generally comfortable, but the soprano size might feel a little cramped for those with very large hands.
While it’s factory-made, the attention to detail and quality of materials give it a feel above many mass-produced ukuleles – the finish is clean and the fretwork is well-done.
