I would definitely recommend this ukulele to anyone who is getting more serious with their ukulele playing and wants to take a step up from the entry-level instruments out there.

This is a wonderful ukulele, both in build quality and sound

Love this ukulele

I bought the Martin C1K to have a good, but less expensive ukulele that I just didn't have to worry about as much when camping and other less gentle settings.

The C1K has all solid koa top, back, and sides.
