When I strum the C1K Martin Ukuleles, I always have an immediate "ahhhh" moment, because it is so warm, rich, full, and resonant. It really has a wonderful open and light tone. It is warm and full with a nice woody Koa attack. They are really wonderful ukuleles and the possess a lot of remarkable tone. The Martin florocarbon strings makes playing this ukulele light to the touch, with a lot of crisp attack for finger picking and smooth strumming projection!
From Martin:
Martin has built the world’s finest ukuleles since 1916, and tenor ukes since 1929 that have long been prized for their full-bodied voice and great volume. The C1K concert-sized model features top, back and sides crafted of solid Hawaiian koa, a wood native to Hawaii and a favorite of island players. Entire body is finished in high quality satin lacquer, and features an applied dovetail neck joint. The C1K Uke is a beautiful example of why Martin is still the name in superior quality ukuleles.
