One of Martin's most stunning instruments, the redesigned D41 maintains the original's traditional beauty and features while still delivering that famous "Martin Sound". Comparable in tone to the D45, the D41 embraces some outstanding features such as hand-inlaid Abalone pearl - over 100 pieces, hand-fitted into the top perimeter and rosette, gold-plated tuning machines, and a specially selected, scalloped-braced Spruce top. Scalloped bracing refers to Martin's technique of hand-carving concave areas or "scallops" into the lower half of the X-braces and into the 2 asymmetrical tone bar braces. This lighter bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, yielding a louder, more open tone. Its low profile neck makes playing the D41 a dream.
