(Book). The Martin Ukulele is a detailed look at the ukuleles built
by the C. F. Martin Co. of Nazareth, PA, and at how the
instruments' success forever changed the company that made them.
Martin's ukulele-making led the small, respected builder of fine
guitars and mandolins into an era of unprecedented growth in the
1920s and helped it become one of the most legendary manufacturers
of high-quality guitars in the world. Drawing heavily from the
extensive archives at the Martin factory, the book examines the
company and its development, from production records, sales
ledgers, and a vast collection of correspondence to hundreds of
photos, including many of the rarest ukuleles the company produced.
Extensive additional imagery chronicles the history of the
popularity of the ukulele itself. The book is both a narrative
about Martin's ukulele manufacturing history and a reference work
detailing the numbers of each style of ukulele ever made by the
company. It is an exploration from Martin's first attempt at
production in 1907, to the peaks of ukulele popularity in the 1920s
and '50s, to the disinterest that caused Martin to cease ukulele
production in the 1990s, to the recent resurgence that has allowed
the firm to again offer a wide assortment of new models.
