  Purchased the Martin T1K tenor Ukulele a couple of weeks ago! The fit, finish, and tone are what you would expect from Martin! Can't put this thing down! For anyone looking for a great Uke at a great price, look no further! Don't waste you money on an inexpensive one and then be disappointed! Buy this one!

• Great Instrument if only.....

  Bought this Martin after returning two Riptides that were defective. Made the mistake of playing it while looking for my 2nd riptide, it was nice! Got the Riptide but returned it due to a twist in the neck. So the third time back I bit the bullet and got the Martin tenor. It is an amazing ukulele, sounds great and plays effortlessly. I then noticed that the saddle was missing out of the bridge. Brought it back to have their luthier take care of it. I should have called Martin first and just had them send me a saddle. Was not to happy with the repair, most of the sales people said "it sounded great" it but the saddle was not fit properly. Uke also ended up with a slight gouge in the bridge, probably from inserting the saddle. I guess more of this is due to the store not Martin but the fact the saddle was not in place is why it received only stars.

• Nicely made instrument

  The 1K is an entry-level Martin uke with upgraded wood. The one I received on special order had highly figured koa with heavy, bold striping that may not be to everyone's taste. My 1K is nicely crafted but the Martin decal at the top of the headstock appears different than the ones I am used to. It is very bright and shiny. The playability of the instrument is very good and the finish is perfect. The projection is quite good and the tone of the uke is also very good. Sound wise the uke is better than most in its price range but my advice is to spend the considerable extra money and get the Martin 2K if you can possibly afford it. It is an excellent ukulele. My Martin 2K has superior sound both in quality and projection and suited to any level of player.
