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.

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