Martin Smith UK-212-A Soprano Ukulele with Ukulele Bag & Chord Book, Natural

Product Information

As sales soared in 1922, it must have been difficult for Martin to meet the needs of its older established network of dealers while also producing so many slightly different new customer models. By late in the year, Martin was already starting to move away from the new costumer models. They still offered to mark ukuleles with other brand names, but they offered only the standard ukulele models and soon began marking them all with the Martin name as well as the name of the retailer. Durability: one of the things a lot of new ukulele players seek in a ukulele is its ability to last long. Tuning: This Ukulele has metal gearheads, these allow for accurate, easy tuning and are a lot more durable than their plastic counterparts. Once you tune it, it offers a warm and round sound that is quite exceptional for this price! Intermediate players or advanced ones might prefer to change the nylon strings as they are quite cheap, which is perfectly fine for a beginner. At this time, Martin made other additions to the ukulele line. In August, they began selling taropatches and also started to make a special line of ukuleles for the Ditson store. These models had the same features as the standard Martin line, but had a different body shape. The wider Ditson ukuleles mirrored the shape of the new guitars that Martin was also making for Ditson. The largest of the Ditson guitar models was dubbed the “dreadnought,” and although not a lot of these Ditson guitars were sold, the body size and shape would later become Martin’s iconic dreadnought guitar. Ukulele collectors sometimes refer to these wide-waisted Ditson ukuleles as “baby dreadnoughts.” Martin sopranos, from plainest to fanciest, (L-to-R): ca. 1920 Style 0; 1919 Style 1 (with the wide Ditson body);ca. 1930 Style 2 (with original hangtag); ca. 1920 Style 3 (with “bowtie” inlay); and a koa-bodied ca. 1930 Style 5Kca. 1920 Style 0; 1919 Style 1 (with the wide Ditson body); ca. 1930 Style 2 (with original hangtag); ca. 1920 Style 3 (with “bowtie” inlay); and a koa-bodied ca. 1930 Style 5K.
