New Martin 5K Ukulele

Martin stopped making ukuleles a number of years ago. They continued to import some of lesser quality. There's been a steady market for the vintage ones. Now, they are re-introducing the top-of-the-line Martin 5K ukulele. It's all koa with fancy appointments. List price is $5,199 - pretty steep for a uke but discounts will no doubt be available.

I'm eager to read the first review of the new Martin ukulele. They sold all the old jigs when they stopped making ukes, and no doubt many of the old-timers who made them have retired. So we'll have to see if the new ones are up to snuff.
