Some might think Martin's narrow nut is not that big of a deal
But just imagine what's gonna happen if Koaloha and Kamaka decide to change their tenors' nut width from 38mm to 34mm
I bet it will be more than just a big deal
The forum will be on fire
I'm not saying 34mm nut is impossible to play
My point is why 34mm? why not 35mm, 36mm or 38mm?
With Martin's string spacing the 1st and 4th strings will be extremely close to the edge of the fingerboard
I just can't understand the reason behind the 34mm super narrow nut
Neither Koaloha, nor Kamaka (or any other ukulele maker on this planet) are going to alter their hundreds of years of traditional instrument manufacture, to go after Martin's 1% of the ukulele market, and certainly not by trying to emulate the nut width of one model of that 1%. Martin is safe from "ruin" and the ukulele world is safe from Martin's ukulele with a 34mm nut.
