Vintage Martin Style 1 Soprano Ukulele

Vintage Martin Style 1 Soprano Ukulele

I am selling my vintage Martin Style 1 soprano ukulele. This solid mahogany Martin is in good condition but does have three stable hairline cracks on the back that I have tried to photograph. They are minor and hard to see. The ukulele has the expected trivial dings and scuffs and crazing one would expect to find on such a vintage instrument.

This beautiful Martin Style 1 has no major issues and plays just fine. According to the Martin catalog, the Martin Style 1 soprano ukulele was last produced in 1965, making this one a minimum of 60 years old. Since there is no “Made in USA” stamped in the sound hole, it is more likely a minimum of 65 years old.

Specs:

• Solid Mahogany top, back, sides, neck and bridge
• Rosewood fingerboard
• Top and back bound with a single layer of faux-tortoise plastic with the top having an additional layer of black/white/black purfling inside this.
• Made in the USA
• Scale Length: 13.614in 345.8mm
• Nut Width: 1.41in 36mm

I have included a video.

I’ll let the photos do the talking, but please carefully research this instrument and ask all questions before purchasing.
