Martin S1 Solid Mahogany Soprano Ukulele  PARTICULAR SIGNS   Soprano  Solid mahogany top  Solid mahogany back & sides  Selected hardwood neck  Sipo bridge & fingerboard  Grover tuning machines  White Tusq nut & compensated saddle  Scale length : 345 mm  17 frets  Nut width : 36mm  Martin Fluorocarbon M600 strings   Satin finish  Made in Mexico  Soft gig bag included CASA OPINION Of the 10 ukuleles I would take to a desert island, there would definitely be a Martin, and it might well be the S1! Beneath its apparent simplicity lies an instrument with impressive volume, carried by generous, enveloping sustain. Every note produced by this little soprano is expressive, deep, and full-bodied.  An authentic ukulele, without artifice, with character and a pure sound. 

Koaloha KSM-01 Solid Hawaiian Koa Soprano Ukulele (real pictures) PARTICULAR SIGNS   Pineapple soprano  Solid Hawaiian koa top  Solid Hawaiian koa back & sides  CNC shaped mahogany neck  Ebony bridge & fingerboard  Koaloha gear tuners  Tusq nut & saddle   16 frets  Nut width : 37mm  Koaloha 5-pointed crown headstock  Paua Abalone headstock logo  Paua Abalone fret maker  Koaloha's "Musubi" sound hole  Gloss finish  Hard-case include   Made in Hawaii  CASA OPINION This particularly sublime model (the one that will be shipped) features magnificent koa waves, with lots of contrast between light and dark, giving it a lot of character. Classic and timeless, the pineapple shape is in the purest Hawaiian tradition. After comparing it at length with the standard version (the KSM-00 soprano), we found them to be extremely similar, but we perceive more pep and projection in this model. As you know, each instrument is unique, and in any case, two ukuleles of the same model will never sound exactly the same, especially at this level of perfection. A good reason to come visit us :) Also, the sound is extraordinary, rich, deep, and bright. We are thrilled, and you will be too. You also benefit from the “better than the weather” warranty, which allows you to have your ukulele repaired if necessary, with no time limit.
