Hi! I'm saving up for a 'next step up' ukulele and the Martin S1 (and the C1K) is on the top of my list. I went to a local shop the other day for their website said they had one in store, but I was too late... what they did have was this stunning looking and good sounding Eastman soprano, and even better: it is for sale... normally the S1 is about the same price but this one is €100 cheaper.
So now I'm really tempted as you can imagine. But my main concern is: how does this uke compare to the Martin in terms of quality? My main goal is to buy a 'uke for life' and since I can't find a shop that has an S1 in stock I hope you can help me out? Thanks!
