SOLD: 1927-1932 Martin Concert 1-C
Need to raise some funds, so decided to list this great old Martin. I purchased this on FMM a couple years back and have really enjoyed it. It's in great shape and I believe everything is original. This 1-C dates to between 1927 and 1932, as evidenced by the black button Grover Simplex tuners, and the absence of a large logo decal on the headstock. The neck is very straight and action is great. Intonation is also good. The only issues are some minor pitting just south of the bridge (assuming from string changes), and a very old repair of a small crack near the binding on the lower bout. There is also a finish check adjacent to the repaired crack. Both have been completely stable during my ownership. Again, the repair was cleated, and appears to be extremely old. The uke comes with it's original case, that shows its age, but is still well intact. Also included is a modern ABS Oahu hardshell, which fits perfectly and provides excellent protection. Overall, this is an excellent example of a very early Martin concert ukulele. Price is SOLD and includes CONUS shipping+insurance with excellent packing. Please get in touch with any questions. This instrument is cross-listed on FMM.
Thanks for looking!
