As early as 1915, Martin began experimenting with ukulele designs. Since then, Martin ukuleles remain among the highest-quality ukes you're likely to find. They sound great and are constructed with the integrity and attention to detail we've come to expect from C.F. Martin. New for 2022, the 0 Tenor Uke features neck, top, back, and sides made from Martin’s coveted stash of Sinker Mahogany that was salvaged and recovered from the bottom of a river in Belize. Sinker Mahogany offers a dense and complex tone that makes this model stand out from the crowd. It also looks beautiful—especially underneath the satin lacquer finish—and this one has unique "Cat's Eye" figure on the top that is matched on the back.
