1930 c. Martin Style 1-T Uke

No serial number. As the ukulele fad of the 1920's grew in scale, the Martin Company expanded its line of ukes from to include Concert, Tenor, and Baritone sized instruments. The Style 1-T was introduced soon after the second round of renovations at the company's North St. location in the late 1920's, and this instrument likely dates soon after that. A simply appointed instrument, the Style 1-T has a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, rosewood binding (with maple top purfling), ebony nut, friction tuning machines, and black bridge-pins. The bone saddle is new, but the instrument is otherwise original. Bar-frets and C.F. Martin stamp on the back of the headstock date the instrument to before 1934. The are a few hairline cracks on the instrument's top and back which we have repaired, along with an older nicely repaired crack on the treble side. No finish touchup was done, and none is needed. Nicely setup, the instrument plays easily and without buzz. 17" scale length, 1-3/8" nut width. Fine sound.
