There’s something undeniably special about a handcrafted instrument made with care, intention, and rare tonewoods — and the Martin Custom Shop Tenor Ukulele is a shining example. Built from premium blistered koa, this tenor uke carries with it the resonance of Hawaiian tradition alongside the meticulous attention to detail that defines Martin’s Custom Shop. From its strikingly figured koa top, back, and sides to the satin finish that lets the wood breathe and mature, this instrument is a feast for the ears and eyes alike.

Tonally, this ukulele offers the warmth and shimmer koa is famous for, with a bell-like clarity that suits everything from classic island strumming to expressive fingerstyle melodies. The tenor scale (17") adds extra projection and sustain, making this an ideal instrument for solo performances, ensemble work, or high-quality studio recording. Whether you're playing folk, jazz, traditional Hawaiian music, or simply composing something new, the articulation and responsiveness of this uke make it a reliable creative partner.

Comfort and craftsmanship go hand in hand here. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge lend a smooth, solid feel, while the black TUSQ nut and saddle offer improved tuning stability and tone transfer. Grover open-gear tuners with black buttons keep your tuning reliable with a vintage aesthetic, and the understated old-style Martin gold decal on the headstock reminds you this is no off-the-shelf uke — it's a piece of artistry built to last a lifetime. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this ukulele ships with a softshell Martin case for convenient transport and premium protection.
