Vintage 1930s Martin Style 0 Soprano Ukulele w/ Vintage Clipboard Case

An absolutely beautiful prewar Martin Style 0 soprano ukulele dating to approximately the 1930s to very early 1940s, complete with a wonderful vintage clipboard hard case.

Few instruments capture the charm and warmth of old American craftsmanship quite like a prewar Martin uke, and this one delivers all the dry, woody, resonant tone these legendary little instruments are known for. Lightweight, lively, and incredibly responsive in the hands.

Constructed from solid mahogany with a gorgeous naturally aged finish that has developed a rich deep brown patina over the decades. The wood grain and old-growth mahogany used during this era simply have a character that modern instruments struggle to replicate.

This example retains its original vintage feel throughout and presents beautifully with honest cosmetic wear consistent with age. Structurally solid and nicely playable with comfortable action. The original friction tuners remain in place and have been fitted with tasteful newer tuner buttons for improved usability and reliability.

The interior “C.F. Martin & Co. Nazareth PA” stamp and period-correct appointments strongly suggest this instrument dates to the prewar era, likely sometime between the mid-1930s and early 1940s.

Includes the pictured vintage clipboard hard case which pairs perfectly with the instrument and adds to the overall vintage appeal.
