Martin's T1K: a solid-koa tenor ukulele and the model the Hawaiian makers are usually measured against.
Watch
Why it matters
The T1K is a solid koa tenor, which places it above most production ukuleles in price and directly against the small Hawaiian workshops. Martin's scale means warranty service is simple and the model is widely stocked, so examples are easy to find. Koa varies in figure and response between individual instruments, so no two T1Ks are identical in character.
Note
Solid koa tenor. The koa Martin, and the one usually compared against the Hawaiian makers.
