The Sound of a Golden Age
Some instruments have made history, and the Martin Style 3 from the 1920s is one of them. Mahimahi pays homage to this icon with a tenor ukulele that captures its soul and philosophy: purity of sound above all else. Crafted entirely from solid mahogany, with selected woods milled to minimal thickness to maximize vibration, this instrument is a true tone generator. Its voice is warm, woody, and full of the vintage character that defined the golden age of the ukulele.
The Mahimahi Philosophy
In Hawaiian, "Mahi-mahi" not only means "dolphin" but also "strong-strong" or "wise-wise." This choice of name reflects the brand's philosophy: to create robust, reliable instruments crafted with the wisdom of those who love music and respect tradition, offering exceptional quality to every musician.
Why Choose this Mahimahi Martin Style?
- "All-Solid" Construction for a Pure Tone: The all-solid mahogany body creates an exceptional resonance chamber. The sound is warm, deep, with very long sustain and a harmonic complexity that only solid wood can provide.
- A Tribute to Classic Details: The aesthetic is a direct nod to the Martin tradition. The elegant white binding, adorned with black and white purfling, outlines the body of the instrument, providing a timeless touch of class.
- A Sound That Matures With You: Like all the best all-solid instruments, this Mahimahi is a musical investment. The more you play it, the more the wood fibers will mature, and its sound will become even richer, more open, and personal.
- Tenor Power and Comfort: The tenor body is the ideal soundbox for solid mahogany, unleashing remarkable volume and depth. The spacious rosewood fretboard offers impeccable comfort for any playing style, from strumming to fingerpicking.
