I really enjoy playing this uke!
I really enjoy playing this uke! Although the action was a little too high for me upon arrival, I had it dropped, and now the uke plays beautifully. It feels good in my hands, the craftsmanship is excellent, and it has a sweet tone.
For A Martin it should be better!
Honestly I wanted to love this ukelele! After all, it's a Martin! The truth is that it lacks in playability compared to other much less expensive ukeleles that I own. I actually have a Donner laminate that is more playable than this instrument was out of the box! When I recieved this instrument the action was remarkably high for such a "high end" instrument brand! I have lowered the action on a few cheaper ukeleles so I proceeded to do the same on this one as well. Although I really felt like for $ you ought to receive a pretty darn playable instrument out of the box I decided to give it a go as it is a Martin and it "ought" to be a very playable instrument! I dropped the action as low as I reasonably could and it did improve, but I still found my Kala to be much more playable than this Martin. WTF! This thing is twice the cost and has such a glowing reputation! It does have nice tone, but due to its playability challenges I do not think this Martin is a good value! You can find much more playable instruments for FAR less money! Shame on you Martin!
