    Description

    I am selling here a wonderful Style 2K Martin Ukulele with Original case. Look at the pictures.
    It is the Ukulele from the best Ukulele brand in the world. You will love the vintage ukuleles from Martin. In the older days Martin produces Ukuleles in Nazareth USA (not in Mexico as modern Martins).
    This Ukulele was build between
    1923 - 1927, because of the original Grover no.76 pegs. So it is from the golde ages of Martin production!
    The string action is low and strumming and fingerpicking is a pleasure!
    The Koa wood makes the uke light and the sound sweet, but dynamic and brilliant. - you feel, that Martin builders are the best in the world and made an highclass instrument and no gift for tourists.
    You won´t believe that this Martin is nearly 100 years old.
    in the years of Martin pre-war production (the best years of Martin Ukuleles), there where in the 30 years around 39000 style0 mahagony build. But the 2K Koa uke - there where only 2900 build. The production ended 1945, so there are only 2900 style 2 koa ever made!
    There is the original beautiful case. It fits perfect and the lid closes well.
    I bought this uke many years ago in a special shop for vintage  banjos, mandolins and ukuleles for 3500 Dollars.
    There are two original gut string on. The other two are broken. If you want you can get new original Martin M600 fluorocarbon strings. Otherwise try different strings like nylgut from Aquila or even original gut strings.
    Shipping to USA is around 80 $
    international buyers are welcome!
