This professional quality uke measures 9” in body width at the lower bout and it has a body length of 12” which makes it a true tenor. Its scale length is 17 2/16”. It has the old style violin style straight-through tuners and yet it also displays the “C F Martin & Co., Est. 1833” headstock decal logo and so our best guess is that this was made in 1930 – a transition period. The top and back are bound in tortoise celluloid; the unbound Brazilian rosewood fingerboard hosts four very small pearloid dotmarkers; the nut is ebony; its nut width is 1 5/16th”. The uke shows light normal signs of use including dings, chips, scratches including some small scuffs. There are a few crazing lines or what might be construed as signs of incipient cracks below the bridge, and also on the treble side near the binding – but as Dylan says, “these ain’t goin’ nowhere.” These lines in the finish are not open and do not need attention. Our workshop will have attended to this instrument and brought it up to 2011 standards in terms of wholeness, haleness and, well, also eupepsia (good digestion). If tenor uke is your new thing, this one’s worthy of a king.
