When it comes to ukuleles, few builders have enjoyed the staying power that C. F. Martin & Co. have. The T1 StreetMaster Ukulele builds on Martin's century-plus of uke-building expertise to bring players a quality instrument with a beautifully aged finish. The Martin T1 StreetMaster Ukulele boasts an impressive all-mahogany body with internal Sitka spruce bracing to supply a mature tone and hearty output reminiscent of Martin's larger-bodied acoustics. The entire uke ? body, neck, and headstock ? is hand rubbed in an ultra-thin distressed satin finish to give it the look and feel of a road-traveled instrument. Martin's dovetail joint Standard Taper hardwood neck and rustic sipo fingerboard feel great in the hand and excel at transmitting vibrations between body and neck. And when you factor in a set of zero-backlash Graph Tech Ratio tuners and a deluxe gig bag with internal securement strap, you can be confident taking your T1 StreetMaster Ukulele out on the road. Whether you're a student or a seasoned ukulelist, take it from players at Sweetwater: you get superb sound, great looks, and top-notch build quality from the Martin T1 StreetMaster Ukulele.

Interview with Chris Martin from Martin Guitar Co.


Mahogany tonewood delivers rich tonal complexity





There's a reason why singer/songwriters swear by Martin's mahogany acoustic instruments such as this T1 StreetMaster Ukulele. The naturally warm and lively tone of mahogany is extremely forgiving while also providing a rich tonal complexity that's somewhat reminiscent of an electric sound. At the same time, the slightly deeper voice of this tenor-sized StreetMaster leaves plenty of sonic space for a vocal, acting as an excellent source for accompaniment.





Aged hand-rubbed finish





The T1 StreetMaster's ultra-thin distressed finish is a tip of the hat to working musicians everywhere. This great-sounding, eye-catching ukulele imparts warm, lively characteristics to your playing, along with an amazingly rich tonal complexity.

Full-bodied tenor sound





This tenor ukulele is slightly larger than most ukes and has a richer, fuller sound. This makes it a great instrument for live performers. And with 20 frets at your disposal, you'll be able to easily reach notes that other ukuleles aren't capable of.





Martin gig bag included





Martin leaves no stone unturned in providing players a travel-ready instrument with the T1 StreetMaster Ukulele. The included soft gig bag features a tough exterior to slough off surface scratches, as well as a padded interior and securement strap to keep your uke from jostling in transit.
