Marvin and Martin

This is the full range of vintage Martin soprano ukuleles, starting with the mahogany ones: style 0, style 1, style 2, and style 3, all especially made for Ditson.
Following are the koa ones; the style 1K, style 2K, style 3K and - in Martin's own words - "the finest ukulele made", the style 5K.

Yes, Fred, I remember this video well.

If I recall, this was version two? The first version you had your ukes hanging on the wall. I think that was at your old house before moving to Sint Nik??

I feel sad when I see the Hunt 3K. IMO The Martin 3K truly is possibly the finest ukulele ever made. It's a shame you don't have one now. This is the only missing link in your collection.

And the D5K had yet to arrive? Perhaps you should make a public video on the D5k? Educate the masses.

Memories.

@BeareTube I have owned 3 different 3K's, but I did not manage to hang on to any of them. Do you happen to have a spare 3K somewhere? ;)

Which one do you like playing most ? A wonderful collection you have there wininboy.

[wininboy]

Thanks Brad!

I play the style 1 the most.

Ik denk dat ik ze niet eens Allemaal in het echt gezien heb. Maar heb een goede herinnering aan die welke ik zag. Pfew.

Je zal nog eens moeten terugkomen, Hein.

Niks aan te doen... ;-)

Impressive collection. If you run out of place, be sure to contact me, I can help you make some space in your flat :)

thanks very much for the offer! (it'll just take me a few years to rise the fare). All the best.

[wininboy]

It'd make me very happy if you'd come and try 'em all out!

And show me a few tips and tunes while you're here, of course.

So very nice -- If you ever need some respite (looking after all those ukes must be a burden sometimes) I'd be happy to look after one or two of them for you for a little while -- just let me know.
