Martin Special 0XK Ziricote HPL Concert Ukulele Natural

Has very loud warm n bright tone that just rings and sounds amazing. With grover tuning heads stays in tune perfectly. Comes with a martin case to protect it. its my daily ukulele to play. Has the ease of playing without having to press down hard or strum to hard to get a good sound out of it.

I've had this for about 6 months and play it almost every day. The sound on this uke is very loud and it has a great harmony. I liked the Martin strings that came with it but they started to fray so replaced with worth clear fluorocarbon and haven't looked back. This sounds so much better and louder than my solid wood flight tenor nighthawk and this is concert/hpl. The peg tuners work very well and keep it in tune without any issues. I had to slightly tighten them which is to be expected. The included case is very nice. This is my favorite uke and recommend it to anyone. It makes me want to buy another Martin uke but I don't really need too because this one is so great.

Pulled the trigger on this before the tariffs on Mexican guitars kick in as I needed a uke to lug arround when it's cold because I am too afraid for my Hawaiian and Japanese ones to die in extreme weather.cant afford a Klos right now so I am going to put this through the wringer and let you guys know later. Sounds are good for a non wood body.yes that grain is printed on will put on worth CL and throw away the tuners for Gotoh Planetaries(forget Graph tech)others complained about the light colored and softer Sipo wood fret board on the Koa model,this is dark but speced as select hardwood so probably dyed the Sipo wood for this one.i have seen alot of solid wood uke from China in the same price range crack and split and their necks snap so time will tell .Otherwise this might just be the best travel uke for not much money,Later Alligator.
