Martin Konter Uke
All of our Martin Konter Ukuleles are brand new, factory-fresh and come with a Martin hardshell case and Martin Lifetime Warranty.
The Konter Ukulele may be the most valuable ukulele in the world. It was owned by Richard Konter, "Ukulele Dick," who joined Admiral Richard Byrd's famed expedition to the North Pole in 1926. During the expedition, he obtained signatures at every opportunity, including those of all 45 crew members of the Admiral Byrd expedition and the Admiral himself. It's the only artifact that traveled to the North Pole because it was smuggled under the seat of the airplane. The ukulele also made a trip to the White House and was signed by President Calvin Coolidge, along with the vice president, the secretary of state, the secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Amelia Earhart, Thomas Edison, and many, many more. The soprano ukulele contains more than 210 signatures. The Martin Konter Uke replica includes all signatures, which have been carefully laser-etched into the beautiful koa wood. The soprano ukulele also features vintage style violin peg tuners and a replica of the original interior label.
Maury's Music personally inspects your ukulele during his 10 point inspection.
