As early as 1915, Martin began experimenting with ukulele designs. Since then, Martin ukuleles remain among the highest-quality ukes you're likely to find. They sound great and are constructed with the integrity and attention to detail we've come to expect from C.F. Martin.
Proudly made in Nazareth, Pa., the Martin 2K Concert Uke features solid Hawaiian Koa top, back, and sides. Koa is a variant of Acacia that is native to Hawaii, and it is a favorite for traditional island tone. Unlike many ukuleles—which are shoddily constructed and have issues over time—the 2K Concert Uke actually has an applied dovetail neck joint—just like a good Martin 6-string! The result is a ukulele that is truly deserving of the "C.F. Martin & Co." decal on the head plate.
