The Martin C1K Concert Ukulele Natural delivers the signature sound quality and craftsmanship you expect from Martin. This concert-sized ukulele features a solid koa top, back and sides for a rich, melodic tone with ample projection. The all-koa construction gives the C1K a warm, balanced tone with clear, ringing notes across the tonal spectrum. The satin finish enhances the natural beauty of the koa wood grain. With its comfortable concert body size, the C1K is ideal for any player looking for full, resonant tone in a portable size.

Solid Koa Wood Construction Produces a Warm, Nuanced Tone

The C1K is crafted from solid koa, a wood native to Hawaii prized for ukulele and guitar construction. Koa delivers a warm yet articulate tone with complex overtones, and its density helps produce volume and sustain. The all-koa build gives the C1K a lush, resonant voice with a woody midrange, crisp treble and rich bass. The satin finish allows the koa's natural beauty to shine through while protecting the wood.

Concert Size Offers Comfort and Projection

With its concert size, the C1K provides a comfortable playing experience for most hand sizes while offering more volume and bass response than a soprano ukulele. The concert body helps the C1K produce full, ringing tone with clear, articulate notes. Whether strumming chords or fingerpicking melodies, the C1K concert ukulele cuts through with ease.

Legendary Martin Craftsmanship and Quality

For over 100 years, Martin has been producing premium ukuleles and guitars renowned for their tone, playability and durability. The C1K is built using time-honored techniques and the highest quality materials by skilled craftsmen in Martin's Mexico facility. With its solid wood construction, comfortable size and resonant voice, the Martin C1K concert ukulele is an instrument you'll enjoy playing for years to come.

Includes Padded Gig Bag for Easy Transport

The C1K comes with a padded gig bag to safely transport your ukulele to lessons, jams, rehearsals and performances. The bag features padding, handles and a shoulder strap for comfortable carrying, as well as extra storage space for accessories like tuners, straps and sheet music.
