Description Brand: C.F. Martin Model: 3K Ukulele Type: Soprano Exact Year: 1920's Body Material: Koa Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Top Material: Koa
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 wonderful condition and has been lovingly maintained. 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 terrificcondition and is a real player's instrument. Nice low action too!As is common with vintage ukuleles of this period, two hairline cracks on the top were repaired (correctly, from inside the instrument) by a luthier who specializes in vintage instrument repair, several years ago.It is strung with real gut strings.Non-vintage hard shell case included.Good Luck!
