Description
The Ukulele Traders are pleased to introduce the Martin Centennial Concert Ukulele
Celebrate a major milestone of Martin craftsmanship with the Centennial Concert Uke, only offered through 2025. This vintage- inspired ukulele honours 100 years of Martin producing concert-sized ukes, which have been cherished by players worldwide since 1925. Crafted in Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, it’s made from solid genuine mahogany, offering a blend of warmth and brightness with a punchy midrange that makes every note sing. Its concert size strikes a comfortable balance, larger than a soprano but smaller than a tenor, making it easy to play while still delivering that signature Martin sound. Its select hardwood neck features 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. Modern upgrades include Graph Tech RATIO® tuning machines, giving you the convenience and stability of a geared tuner while keeping the look and feel of a vintage friction peg. 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.
