The C1K concert-sized model features top, back and sides crafted of solid Hawaiian koa, a wood native to Hawaii and a favorite of island players. Entire body is finished in high quality satin lacquer, and features an applied dovetail neck joint. The C1K Uke is a beautiful example of why Martin is still the name in superior quality ukuleles.

Wow, this is my first ever Martin purchase and I am quite impressed. I'm no expert but it sounds a lot better than my Lanikai CK-C uke. And much louder for the same effort when playing.

.Best quality and tone for the price range. Found Custom Guitar's Friend had best deal/price.

.I bought this uke as a birthday present for my wife. It is a great value for the money. Wonderful tone and fit and finish was flawless. The setup was good right out of the box. It's a solid koa concert with geared tuners. This was made at the Martin factory in Mexico and the quality is top notch if this was made in Hawaii or on the mainland of the US it would be so much more. It has a satin finish which I believe allows the wood to really sing out. It came with Martin strings. Not too many people ever seem to talk about Martin ukulele strings, but for my money they are very good strings and have used them on many of my other ukuleles, naturally when you talk strings it's a personal preference but give them a try they really are good strings and not that expensive. The uke came with a nice Martin gig bag, but for this instrument I wanted something better so I bought a Mono concert ukulele case. Well worth the money. And best of all my wife loves it!

.I own Cordoba and Luna ukuleles, but this is in another league. The Martin strings are the best I've heard and the instrument itself is a real work of art. Not sure why they didn't do a high gloss finish like the Hawaiian makers, but it still looks amazing. The sound is wonderful and playing it just "feels" right. (rather subjective I know.) The price was good and Custom Guitar's Friend was easy to work with. I received this while they were still back ordered... not sure how, but thanks. In a couple of years I'll update this review and see how the Martin C1K lasts over time. New cars are always nice, but let's see how it ages. I'm betting it will be just like new.

.I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of sound and the construction of the instrument itself.

.The playability of the neck feels like a classic old martin uke and isn't as clunky as some of the similarly priced competitors. (However, that might be a turn off if one's fingers aren't as dexterous or are bear paws)
No fancy embellishments or inlays, just a pure clean look with a great feel and tone. The wood smells and looks beautiful.
Martin C1K Concert Ukulele Natural
.My first uke. I wanted a quality, solid-wood instrument which would be playable and which wouldn't need rapid replacement with something better as my skills improve. This hits that sweet spot between too cheap (in the broadest sense) and too expensive for a serious beginner. It's a plain-looking instrument with a rich tone and good sustain.

.Comes with a functional logo gigbag, but I would have liked the option to upgrade to a higher quality/more protective alternative like a Momo, or a hard case, without paying for the gigbag included.
Martin C1K Concert Ukulele Natural
.I love it!!!
Martin C1K Concert Ukulele Natural
.I like the quality of the workmanship and the tone is excellent. I have another quality ukulele with Aquila strings and like having the Matin strings equally. Each has a unique sound and feel.
