Went to a party last week at Martin’s house, he who sold me a guitar of his manufacture in 2002, plain, but what lovely sound, my go-to acoustic. Martin has made many guitars in the interim, including a yearly pearl to auction off at the Bridge School Benefit show in the South Bay Area. Friend Jim is currently building a guitar in Martin’s studio and, even as a lifelong woodworker, speaks of Martin’s workmanship and savvy with admiring awe. So, in honour of the Saturday Night’s All Right for Uke Cover Fighting, I offer the following pictures of a ukulele that was hanging in the office at Martin’s. The pictures hardly do it justice.

That is All.

This is so fantastic.
Thanks!

It’s gorgeous!
Not only is it gorgeous, but we were playing other instruments in close proximity, and I swear I could hear it resonating. I would make an offer for it, but 1) I don’t play the Uke and, 2) I already have a dozen lovely instruments (I like them) and my dear Erica would look askance should another show up in the rec room. Sigh!
