1932 Martin Style 0 Soprano Ukulele - Mahogany

Vintage 1932 Martin Ukulele style 0 in fair condition due to a crack on the side of the body.  You can see the crack in photos 5, 6 and 7.  This was repaired by our Luthier so the Ukulele is solid and ready to be strummed.  Besides the crack the rest of the Ukulele is in very good/excellent condition for its age. About Vintage Martin Ukuleles: Martin Ukulele Models: Martin 0m, 1m, 2m, 3m, 0k, 1k, 2k, 3k, 5k Ukuleles were in highest production from 1916 to the 1930's, though still manufactured in quantity until 1965. Production quantities during some periods were as great as Martin guitars. Martin ukes are considered to be the best for craftsmenship and sound. The Koa wood models are more collectible than mahagony models. The fancier style 5 models are worth more than plainer styles 0 to 3. All sizes are collectible. The first Martin ukes, built in 1916, have serial numbers ranging from one to less than 200. Ukes made after 1916 do not have serial numbers and must be dated by specification changes. For example, in 1962 Martin added "made in usa" to the inside stamp. Ukes have the Martin stamp on the back of the peghead until 1935. Peghead decals do not appear in catalog photos till after WWII.                             Total             Body            Body            Scale Style                     Length         Length        Width          Length Soprano (std)         21"               9 7/16"        6 3/8"          13 5/8" Concert                  23 1/4"         11"              7 5/8"          14 3/4" Tenor                     26 1/4"         12 1/16"      8 15/16"      17" Baritone                 30 11/16"      14"             10"              20 1/8" Martin ukuleles produced in greatest numbers in the smallest soprano size, but concert and tenor sizes were available circa 1922.
