Aloha, Ukulele Lovers!

Well, get ready to immerse yourself in the magic of the ukulele with us as we unveil the exquisite Martin 1T IZ Tenor Ukulele - a true masterpiece that resonates with the spirit of Iz himself!
What Ukulele Did Iz Play?
You've probably heard the timeless classic, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," sung by Iz with his heart and soul, captivating listeners across the globe. But have you ever wondered what kind of ukulele he played to weave that magical melody?
Let us introduce you to the Martin 1T IZ Tenor Ukulele - a beautiful tribute to the very same instrument that Iz played back in the 1960s when he created that iconic rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Can you believe that the original ukulele is the foundation of this extraordinary recreation?
The Magic of Martin
Martin & Co, a renowned brand established in 1833, is not just about guitars! They have been crafting exquisite ukuleles since 1910, and the Martin Tenor is one of their finest creations. Standing tall at 6'2", Iz needed a Tenor ukulele, and this beauty was a perfect match for his unmatched talent.
While koa wood is commonly associated with Hawaiian instruments, IZ's ukulele was crafted with a unique touch of mahogany. And now, you too can embrace the legacy of Iz with the Martin 1T IZ Tenor Ukulele, made entirely of solid mahogany, adorned with the "IZ" inlaid in Hawaiian koa and a hibiscus flower inlaid in pink awabi pearl - a true treasure from the islands!
Feel the Island Vibes
Our Martin 1T IZ Tenor Ukulele is a loving tribute to Iz's exceptional talent and his love for the ukulele. Crafted with genuine quilted mahogany, this ukulele exudes a warm and mellow tone that will transport you to the sandy beaches of Hawaii with every strum.
The satin finish adds an extra touch of elegance, while the East Indian rosewood headplate showcases "IZ" inlaid in stunning Hawaiian koa. The hibiscus flower inlay in pink awabi pearl adds a dash of island charm, making this ukulele a visual delight!
