I tried to fight this one, but I lost in the end. Last week a local music store posted an S1 for sale at a great price (about $100 less than other used models). I don't play soprano that much, but since it is Martin's 100th celebration and ukulele and Martin have such a long history, I have wanted a Martin ukulele for a while. Furthermore, I have loved Martin guitars for some time, but have never owned one.
I used some contacts to see if I could get a better deal--but they weren't willing to budge--so I caved in today and bought it.
I immediately swapped out the strings to Martin 600s, which I use on most of my ukuleles.
I know this is the entry level Martin soprano, but I consider my Martin "itch" itched now, and I am interested to see how this ukulele changes over time--and to see how much I play it. It is my first ukulele with a compensated saddle, and my first with Grover tuners.
Anyone know what year this one would have been made? Model number 15093.
