Does anyone know the width, depth of the Martin Concerts. And for other brands how deep are these? Info on the Martins would be most appreciated.

I think I need to adjust how I play but I'm finding playing on thinner instruments more comfortable. I tend to "feel it" in my right forearm. The doctor is suggesting OT and states it's not overuse like carpel tunnel but that I need to strengthen all parts of my arm :'(
 
I have a Martin C1K.

Depth at the bottom of the lower bout is 2-3/4 in
Depth at the heel of the neck is 2-1/4 in (add about 3/16 in to the top of the 12th fret)
Width of the lower bout is 7-5/8 in
Width of the upper bout is 5-11/16 in

For comparison my Kremona Coco measurements are:
Depth at the bottom of the lower bout is 2-5/8 in
Depth at the heel of the neck is 2-5/8 in (add about 3/16 in to the top of the 12th fret)
Width of the lower bout is 8-1/8 in
Width of the upper bout is 5-15/16 in

Those are my only concerts.
Hope this helps.
 
If people know k brand Concert dimensions, that would be good to know. Thanks all.
 
Not what you're asking, but just in case it's of any interest to you:
There are "slim" versions of ukuleles from some makers. I know I saw a LoPrinzi on the Uke Republic site a while back, (not currently listed), that had a slimmer body than the usual LoPrinzi, and in the more expensive range, Kinnard has a "slim line" listed on their site. I'm sure that others have "slim" versions as well, but those are the 2 that I'm aware of.
 
I have a Kanilea C1K 2010

Depth at the bottom of the lower bout is 2-1/2 in
Depth at the heel of the neck is 2-3/8 in
Width of the lower bout is 8 in
Width of the upper bout is 5-3/4 in
