I purchased a Martin T1-K tenor Koa uke a couple of months ago and love it. Terrific tone, I decided to stick with the Martin strings that it came with and swapped out an Aquila Red low g string and so far really like it. It needed (in my opinion) to have the action lowered a bit and now it is perfect. I wish there were more shops around that carried Martin ukes, I had to order on Musician's Friend and of course, it didn't come set up like one from HMS, Uke Republic or Mim's. The Koa on mine is very nice looking with some great stripe and I was hoping for this because many I have seen in photos didn't really stand out. If anyone else has one of these, chime in and tell us what you think too.
