The Ukulele Traders are pleased to introduce the Martin Centennial 1 Concert Ukelele

Here’s what Martin say:

Celebrate a major milestone of Martin craftsmanship with the limited-edition Centennial 1 Concert Uke. This understated yet elegant ukulele honors 100 years of Martin producing concert-sized ukes, which have been cherished by players worldwide since 1925.

Crafted from solid sinker mahogany, reclaimed from the depths of Belizean rivers, this uke has a rich, warm tone and a striking grain that only nature could create. Its concert size offers a coveted balance, sitting between the smaller soprano and larger tenor, making it comfortable to play while delivering full, resonant sounds.

The neck is also made from sinker mahogany paired with an East Indian rosewood fingerboard that stops at the body joint, a nod to vintage ukulele design that opens up more of the instrument’s top for increased resonance. Enhanced with a satin finish, Madagascar rosewood binding, and Waverly nickel tuners for precision and stability, this ukulele brings modern upgrades while staying true to classic Martin style.

With only 91 examples available, this vintage-inspired uke is a rare find for players and collectors alike. It even includes a commemorative paper label inside to mark this special milestone, featuring an image of the North Street factory where the first concert ukes were handcrafted 100 years ago.

They deliver the classic “island” sound most people associate with ukuleles and are perfect for simple chords, strumming, and casual playing.

Concert ukuleles sit neatly between soprano and tenor sizes, offering a little more body, volume and fret spacing while still keeping the classic ukulele feel.

At UKET, our concert ukulele range includes accessible starter models, stylish step-up instruments and options to suit a wide range of players.

Tenor ukuleles offer a larger body and longer scale length, giving you more room on the fretboard and a fuller, deeper sound. They are a popular choice for progressing players, performers and anyone who prefers a little more volume and projection. At UKET, our tenor ukulele selection includes versatile everyday instruments, performance-ready models and premium options for players who want more space and a richer tone.

Tuner

A tuner helps keep your ukulele sounding its best by making tuning quicker, easier and more accurate.
