Watch
Why it matters
High-pressure laminate resists the humidity problems that trouble solid-wood ukuleles, which makes this the practical choice for travel and for dry or damp climates. Martin lists the 0XK at $449.99, priced against the upper end of the import market. It is a Martin in design, built to a different construction standard from the company's wooden instruments.
Note
HPL (high-pressure laminate) soprano in the koa-print finish. The weatherproof, cheap-to-run Martin.
