Martin Koa Ukuleles

Listen to the 5K:

Martin made just four soprano ukuleles in koa. Styles 1, 2 and 3 were the first introduced in 1920 and a few years later Martin added the superlative style 5 to the range. All the koa ukes had the 'K' designation after the style number to set them apart from their mahongany siblings hence 1K, 2K, 3K and 5K.
1K 1920 - 1942
2K 1920 - 1933
3K 1920 - 1938
5K 1922 - 1940

Ukulele porn at it's finest.

The "money shot" was looking into the sound hole.

Impressive collection. Thanks for sharing.

I'm with Krouk on this. Phew, that 2K is just plain gorgeous!! That 5K is out of this world, but your 3K is about the most beautiful 3K I have ever had the pleasure to see.

Thanks for sharing, Bearetube.
