I bought this as a comparison model, so that I can take measurements and compare them to the other Martin that I already own. All these style 0 ukes seem to be slightly different to each other due to the different craftsmen who made them at the factory over the years. This one arrived today from the US well packed in two large boxes with enough polystyrene chippings to fill a paddling pool I tuned it up straight from the box and gave it a strum..It was tinny sounding lacking in mid tone and volume in fact quite disappointing maybe this is down to a couple of small cracks on the edge of the lower bout soundboard or the ancient strings that came with it...So I'll gave it a a good refurb/TLC repair the cracks fit some new strings and see if it improves. I will report back later.
