This is a hot topic on the Martin Forum right now. Seems like some new Style 3's are a strong possibility at a more reasonable price point compared to the 5K and Daisy.

I have heard (not from the Martin forum) that list price is around $3,000 but I have no verification. Of course street price will be about 1/4 to 1/3 less, just like with the 5s. But I guess we need to wait to find out for sure.
I want one too but it will mean selling off a couple or three to get there.

| I will get some videos and sound samples from the show and post asap for you. The show models are the first ones so these like the others will be special order...I'm still waiting on a daisy 5m ordered right after the last show a year ago so i wouldn't hold my breath to get one quick.

| I hope they are making them with the "skunk stripe" on the fret board like the old ones. It's such a cool look.

| Minamator, it's called a pendaloque. Why? I have no idea, but was told what it was by Mike Longworth. I completely agree that Martin has a big hit on their hands if they are styled like the pre-60's 3's.

| Ideally I'd like one with a pendaloque (nice, that) bow tie fret marker and a kite inlay on a nice shortish headstock. Mind you, I can't afford one anyway.

One certainly does learn something new every day. Thanks Dave for that bit of uke trivia.
Now if I could only use it in a sentence...
Long fretboard ukes. Skunk stripe. With or without the pendaloque. Soprano and concert.
A tenor as decked out above. 12 fret.
Why isn't Gibson entering, or are they?

| Even if Gibson does enter, they're not the same company anymore. With Martin it's arguable but at least they're in the same building and run by the same family, and apparently they still have high standards for most of their instruments. Sadly, I don't think the same is true for Gibson today. My first acoustic guitar was a Gibson so I feel sad hearing so many bad things about their new instruments.

Is the Pendaloque the same thingy as the Parend?
I heard that Martin used old piano key ivory for that particular detail?

You guys should get the model with the inlaid "punned - alot!"
With horrible jokes like these, all I can say is: "No ukes for you!"
The Uke Nazi
The worst part of this news is that now there'll be three more ukes that Ukelele Mike won't show up with either!
Will it never end!?

This is one of the craziest threads ever. Making up puns and knock knock jokes while we wait for a guy whose delirious with 103 degree fever to post pictures of some ukuleles we can't afford to buy!
Only in America.

| I think it is French, and it means something like pendant. As in. Around her neck she wore a lovely pendaloque. Might be pendeloque with an e in the middle rather than an a. I don't know why they'd call it that. It looks more like a mustache to me.
