Good price for one of the best sounding sopranos out there. Can't beat the old Martins!

This Martin is so classic...honest and respected UUer. And the price, in the Kala/Mainland/Pono/basic model Kiwaya range...for Martin build, Martin price-retention/appreciation, and the classic chime of aged 'hog!

This one's a slam dunk!

The wrist watch...not so much. (Kidding!)

When you say smells a bit musky, do you mean mildewy? Cigaretty?
Very tempted on this one but dont want a stinky uke!

Nice! I was just at the Shinola store in near their factory in Detroit. They have a lot of very nice watches!

I agree. Stinky Ukes would be a turn off.
