A beautiful and rare Martin 3K soprano ukulele from the 1920's.  This was my father's instrument and it was passed down to me.The instrument is in excellent condition and has been lovingly maintained.  As is typical with vintage ukuleles of this period, there are two hairline cracks on the top that have been repaired by a luthier, specializing in vintage instruments several years ago.The grain and color of the koa is beautiful, as is the powerful sound that comes from the instrument.  There is virtually no fret ware from the original bar frets.  There are some small dings, but overall it is in truly excellent condition and is a real players instrument.  Nice low action too!It is strung with real gut strings.Non-vintage hard shell case included.Good Luck!
