City Music strummers concur, it sounds every bit as good as it looks; and that ebony fingerboard really adds something to fawn over. Whether you need a new companion for those beach-filled summer nights or want to add a little serendipity to your next recording, the sustainably sourced T1 Tenor Ukulele FSC will follow you there!

Tonewoods with rich voicing

Take a tone-filled dive into the world of the Martin T1 Tenor Ukulele FSC and you’ll find delightful sound that follows suit with any chord or fingerpicking style you use. Much like the tones of mahogany, these tonewoods will reverberate with warm, woody richness. The sipo neck capped with ebony adds a nice contrast to the sapele body in both tone and visuals.

Martin’s tenor body shape

Whether it’s the stage, the studio, or soaking up sun at the beach, Martin’s ukuleles deliver those classic Hawaiian tones coveted by players of all stripes. The Martin T1 Tenor Ukulele FSC’s tenor body, being the largest model offered, features the most volume and tonal projection. Since 1929, Martin’s tenor ukuleles have flown off their warehouse shelves, becoming instant favorites in homes all around the world. This comfortable body shape and size are similar to a travel-sized guitar, making this ukulele fantastic for a wide range of applications — City Music musicians have found they sound great in the studio! Top it off with an applied dovetail neck joint and hands-on, real human craftsmanship and you’ve got a ukulele with incredible build quality ready to traipse through life with you.

FSC-certified construction

With tonewood resources dwindling, Martin is doing their part to preserve this valuable resource. To do that without compromising their storied build quality, Martin leaned on the expertise of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) to procure sustainably sourced tonewoods. FSC works with local growers and sawmills to ethically harvest resources, promote worker’s rights and employment conditions, protect indigenous peoples’ rights, and much more. Forest products that meet FSC standards are recognized as FSC-certified. By using FSC-certified tonewoods for the T1 Tenor Ukulele FSC, Martin is making a serious step forward in ethical instrument production. And players can own a world-class ukulele guilt free.
