I have played stringed instruments for 60 years now! I have also played some keyboards and percussion.My Israel Tribute Ukulele is the best instrument I have ever touched in 60 years! The tone, responsiveness, sound projection and playability stand out above every instrument I have ever owned including the best Les Pauls and Fender guitars! The man has to look down from Heaven and smile when he hears me play his songs.

"Extremely Nice Ukulele!"

I have purchased close to 20 ukuleles in my quest to play the instrument. Some have stayed and many have gone! I have to say that this Martin 1T IZ Tenor Uke is absolutely the hands down winner of all of them. Its classic and simple design are true Martin Style. The Mahogany wood is not only beautiful but it gives a nice warm tone. The volume is just right and it feels like "Butter" in your hands! A real joy to play! I highly recommend this instrument to everyone! You will not be sorry!
