King, John, Koautor |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.
