Overview
Martin's first tenor ukuleles rolled off the production line in 1929 and have been a favorite of countless players since. The TKE Uke is Martin's latest addition to its tenor-sized lineup, featuring a gloss body and satin neck, and top, back, and sides crafted of solid koa--a wood native to Hawaii and a favorite of island players. It also features an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, select hardwood neck, applied dovetail neck joint, and nickel open gear tuners. Its size already provides plenty of volume and projection, but the ukulele's electronics allow you to plug in and play at any volume. Developed in collaboration with Mi-Si, they provide 16 hours of play on a 60-second charge. The TKE Uke comes with a softshell case.

I played 3 of these!They sound amazing and are ready for even the best musicians. Perfect! But for $849 I see issues.like any Ukulele, this is about $100 worth of wood, maximum. Maybe $200 for the rest of the gear.You can only make wood sound as good as wood gets.How are these worth so much when Ibanez and Luna make them for a quarter of the price and kill it every time? Nylon strings and a small amount of wood. The pickup is awesome but you could put that in a $100 ukulele and get the same thing.I’ve owned a music store for 15 years and have played countless ukes and guitars. I love Martin but dang. Really reaching for the stars on any ukulele priced over $300. They only get so good. Love Martin instruments. Just saying
Sound
This thing sounds great.But so do $200 Ibanez Ukulele’s.
Features
The pickup is great.
Ease of Use
It sounds amazing. Like any Ukulele over $200.
Quality
Perfect
Value
Not even close.Every Uke is wood and $6 strings.
Manufacturer Support
Martin has always been an amazing company with amazing instruments.
The Wow Factor
This thing is awesome. I’m just saying that no one should spend over $300 on the best Ukulele ever made.
