Custom Best Pre War 1941 Martin 1-C Concert Uke Ukulele Available Near Perfect Example All Original w OSSC!

Breathtakingly clean is this pristine example of an all-original 1941 Martin 1-C concert uke ukulele in near perfect condition with original Silbertone (not Silvertone) NY, New York chipboard case. Martin concert ukes are the same body size as their traditional 8-string Hawaiian style taro patch (1918-1932) but with four strings only. Concert ukes are tuned the same as their smaller sister the soprano but because of the larger body they tend to have a deeper and richer sound while retaining a smaller more manageable neck and scale length of 14 3/4". Production of the Martin 1-C concert starts in 1925 and continues until 1965 but even so one can usually count on one hand how many Martin concerts they’ve held, they are very rare. Finding a pre War Martin concert uke is difficult enough finding one in this condition, almost impossible. Stunning pre War instrument looks like the day it was made; Martin made many more sopranos, tenors and baritones Martins concert uke production for some unexplained reason is very low. No modifications or repairs, no cracks or breaks, all original finish and parts. Mahogany style 1 bound body; rosewood fingerboard and bridge, great feel, easy to play. Cosmetically almost perfect a couple of very small little marks only and the binding in the waist of the top left side has separated a little.
