While going through the Tom Walsh-John King book on The Martin Ukulele, I noticed that the only koa ukulele made by Martin for the Ditson dept. stores were either a style 1K (12), or a style 5K (22). Thinking that doing a Ditson/Martin style 3K soprano concept ukulele would be a fun project, I went through my stash of koa. I found the perfect piece, that with some fairly aggressive resawing, yielded 2 sets of one piece tops and backs. I found some closely matching koa for the sides and got to work. Trying to keep to the original design concepts as closely as possible here are the particulars; all solid koa body with matching one piece top and back, H. mahogany neck with dovetail neck joint, ebony fretboard, style 3 bindings and abalone inlays, Grover deluxe friction tuners.
