Counter, don't take offense at Bill's comment. He gets his knickers in a wad all the time. Seems he's always riding with a burr under his saddle.

I champion the research and development they've put in to this all carbon fiber ukulele. From the video, it sounds pretty good too. But, am I the only one that thinks the very small headstock looks...

I'm seriously thinking about selling all non-soprano Martins I have in my collection at some point. My hands just don't work as well as they used to and the tenors just get no play time. I also have...

I have a 2018 Style 3K Concert with Peghed Tuners. It's beautiful and sounds amazing. One piece back and top.

Jim

Glad it arrived OK and glad you got a hefty discount. :)

I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on the Konter. I've tried many different strings and the Martin 605's that came on mine was overall the...

Absolutely if I played tenor's this would be sold. It's a fantastic price on a now discontinued Martin. Someone should jump on this for sure.

Jim

Jodie, I also wanted to mention my experience with strings on my Konter. It came with Martin 605's, I was able to take them off and keep them to put on later if I decided they were the best. I tried...

Jodie -

Your Konter sounds fantastic and as you say, my Konter is as close to the vintage Martin sound as I've encountered from a new ukulele. They are light as a feather, built fantastically and...

It is made in Nazareth and it is kerfed. In my opinion, this is the closest Martin has gotten to the way they made the vintage Style 1's . Also, they sound vintage as well.

Jim

I personally think I'd either burn it or hang it in my shop. If I was a builder, I would consider what might happen to this one once it's released to the public or even giving it away. You never...

Thanks all for bringing this back to the top and giving it a bump. A fine UU member has purchased my Collings and it will be on the way to her tomorrow.

Thanks again everyone.

Jim

Doc, quite frankly, it's what I perceive as a fair price with them no longer being made and the condition of this one. Also, I don't need the money so no fire sale here. I'm just offering at a fair...

I think I know the dealer in question here based on what you're looking for. I think, just my personal opinion, that this dealer is getting to the point of thinking they are doing their customers a...

Yes, the sellers description here is accurate. This is a Martin Style 1M (mahogany). I'll also add it looks to be in fantastic shape. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like there's very...

John, these originally came in matte finish and as they age with play wear, the heavily used areas get glossy. I have a 2011 style 2K that I've played since I purchased new and it has the same patina...

Yeap, a Martin Style 2M (mahogany).

Jim

Well, every time my wife tells me I have to many ukuleles, I show her all of Jerry's NUD threads and then show her the posts where he states how many he has. Now, with this thread, I can prove to her...

I think Martin needed to differentiate their ukulele lineup and the OX in all builds was just to close to the all-wood S1 in price point. I think in retail there was about $80 difference and most...

OK. Just to prove to you naysayers :cool: Here’s a link to another forum that has an official Martin soundhole sniffers club: Official Martin Soundhole Sniffers Club

Jim

Petey, be sure and post a NUD thread when you get your new Konter and also update this thread. Also, ensure a thorough sound hole sniffing is done and then described here for review. :cool:

Jim

True Martin fans know the first thing you do when looking at or buying a Martin branded instrument is stick your nose in the sound hole and have a good sniff. It's a well documented phenomenon.

Jim

Pete, according to the book, Konter bought two of these 1926 1K ukuleles in NY just before his expedition. After his pilots untimely death in 1928, he gave one of these to his pilots family, but...

Jerry, it's reminiscent of old Martin Guitars that were built with hide glue. But, it also has to do with the Koa I believe because some of my 3K's smell the same way but not quite a strong.

Jim

I am partial to my Konter. Martin did everything right with this ukulele. It's light as a feather, built like the vintage style 1's and just has a resonance and feel that make it stand apart from the...
