Martin S1K - Soprano Ukulele  

Martin

Martin is a reputable American company which has been making guitars for almost 200 years. Throughout the years they have become one of the best when it comes to western guitars. This is because quality is their biggest priority. Consequently, Martin guitars are very popular. There are even many famous guitarists who use Martin guitars, like Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, and David Gilmour. Furthermore, their production process is environmentally friendly. Since the ‘90s they have worked together with the FSC to prevent deforestation. They only use wood from trees that have to be cut down to keep the forest healthy. The other parts of the guitar are recycled, as well. By purchasing a Martin guitar you are thus not only investing in quality, but also the environment.

The S1K

The S1K is a great soprano ukulele by Martin. Martin has been producing ukuleles since 1915 and the soprano is the smallest in their range. The small body produces a high-pitched and traditional sound and is ideal for people with smaller hands. The entire body is made of koa, which is a native Hawaiian tonewood. It’s a very popular tonewood in the guitar industry as it produces a beautifully bright and authentic sound.
