Description
The Martin Ukulele: A Story of Innovation and Growth This book tells the story of how C. F. Martin Co.'s ukulele-making helped transform the company into one of the world's leading guitar manufacturers. From its first production in 1907 to the resurgence of interest in recent years, the Martin ukulele has played a significant role in the company's history. The book draws on extensive archives and records, including hundreds of photos and correspondence, to explore the development of the ukulele at Martin. It chronicles the instrument's rise to popularity in the 1920s and '50s, as well as its eventual decline and subsequent revival. With detailed information on each style of ukulele ever made by the company, this book is a valuable reference work for music enthusiasts and historians alike. With its unique blend of narrative history and technical detail, The Martin Ukulele offers a fascinating insight into the evolution of one of America's most iconic musical instruments.
