A uke for the serious player, the Martin S1 Ukulele is shaped to the original soprano shape - the smallest ukulele size. Composed of a one-piece solid genuine mahogany top, paired with solid genuine mahogany back & sides, this is a ukulele that means business.
Premium Mahogany Construction
The mahogany gives the S1 an incredibly robust and highly dynamic output, which is perfect for those who require a ukulele that can hold its own in the studio or on stage. The hardness of the mahogany makes it incredibly resilient, perfect for those who're looking for a touring partner they can depend on. As you'd expect from the team at Martin, the construction of this uke is impeccable, and the top is reinforced by an O-Uke bracing pattern, with solid Sitka spruce used as the top braces and mahogany in play for the blocks.
Professional features
The build quality continues throughout the Martin S1 Ukulele's construction, with a dovetail joint used to join the select hardwood neck to the body. This is topped by a 17-fret morado fingerboard with a width of 1-13/32'' at the nut and 1-13/16'' at the twelfth fret. At one end you'll find the fingerboard matched with a morado bridge, while at the other is a white Tusq nut. The birdge carries out the task of upholding string intonation meticulously, and the nut maintains string tension for a uniform playing feel throughout. The features of the Martin S1 Ukulele are rounded off with a set of highly reliable Grover tuners with white buttons, which preserve tuning integrity dutifully - so once you set the tuning, it stays that way.
If you're looking for a reliable soprano ukulele that plays like a dream, and sounds just as beautiful, then it doesn't get much better than the exceptional Martin S1 Ukulele. The package is completed with the addition of a padded gig bag.
