When I first started playing the ukulele the music store where my daughter was taking drum lessons had a vintage Martin style 3 on display. I was taken with how simple and elegant the design was. I knew I wanted one. As I advanced in my playing and began to figure out that the concert scale was my preferred scale length. This would make finding a vintage style 3 in my preferred size rather difficult.
About a year and a half ago RichM posted a NUD for a custom Talsma 3K he just received. It was absolutely stunning! And a concert size no less! After reading his post and doing a little further research I reached out to Dave. I found him very easy to communicate with and his vintage replicas are second to none. I had to re-prioritize my spending, but at least now I had a direction/goal. This past October I placed the order and then the hard part... waiting! The wait ended on Friday and I was presented with the most beautiful uke I have ever seen! Dave nailed it and I couldn't be happier! The sound is wonderful and it is a dream to play. I will do a more in-depth review after I have had some time to really get to know it.
