Hi. Are their any markings that would help me distinguish between a reissue Martin 5K tenor and a vintage one from the '20's?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Martin built Style 1 Tenor ukes, and yes they don't come up for sale all too often, although lately, there seems to be a few more than normal on E-bay. I don't know for sure if Martin ever built a 5K Tenor, but the uke in question at the Goodwill site certainly looks like a Soprano.Aren't Martin Tenors extremely rare? I've saw tons of sopranos for sale, but no tenors. Hmmm.

Regarding serial numbers on new Martin Ukes, they are inside on the neck block, visible from the sound hole.
Yes, I do remember seeing this collection! Really nice collection too!!!
