Martin / 1960s Style-0

In the 1960s, before the wave of industrial mass production reached instrument making, Martin Company maintained dedicated craftsmanship, meticulously handcrafting each ukulele. Among these, the Style-0 is the simplest model and the one loved by the most people. When you hold it, its understated beauty and the philosophy behind it quietly convey themselves.

The entire body is crafted from solid mahogany, a material still readily available in high quality at the time. With the top, sides, and back all made from single-piece wood, the stripped-down construction produces a natural, rich resonance that feels as if the wood itself is singing. The wood grain, deepened by the passage of time, further accentuates the instrument's presence.

As for the crucial sound, a bright tone with remarkably clear contours bursts forth from the compact soprano-sized body—far beyond what one might imagine. Within its light, dry tone, a subtle warmth lingers, spreading a nostalgic and gentle sound reminiscent of something heard from an old black-and-white film.

This is a resonance born of time's accumulation, something current instruments simply cannot achieve. Here lies the unique persuasiveness of an instrument that has grown, breathed, and resonated alongside its player.
