Super D
Martin's history, and indeed modern musical history, is forever linked to the imposing Dreadnought class battleships of the Early 20th Century. This iconic relationship is well-documented. Many players and enthusiasts may not be aware of this "all big gun" battleship would become replaced by an even larger, more powerful fleet known as the Super Dreadnought that would serve through World War II and beyond and would dictate the design philosophy of the largest naval ships built by the United States, England, France and other nations showing dominance on the seas.
While Martin has previously produced a slightly oversized instrument in the form of a D-45S Authentic 1936 inspired by an instrument from the C.F. Martin Museum Collection, the forthcoming Super Dreadnought - aka "Super D" - is larger still and brings a whole new level of product and commitment to the platform. Super D is the largest body size in Martin's manufacturing repertoire with R&D , engineering, testing, and tooling efforts requiring several years in the making. Having an internal air volume approximately twenty percent greater than the standard Dreadnought, the Super D brings over 1,200 cubic inches of internal air volume which effectively boosts the fundamental bass output much like a subwoofer speaker while maintaining accurate mid and treble frequencies. Martin has always developed proprietary bracing patterns to maximize tone and volume. Here, too, an impressive output volume has been realized. Where human hearing perceives meaningful volume gains beginning at 3db, the Super D consistently tests near 12dB above the standard Dreadnought. Considering that volume increases are logarithmic rather than linear, the volume gain is all the more impactful. In practical terms, this means that the Super D can achieve an extended dynamic range with more volume and with less effort than any other instrument bearing the C.F. Martin logo.
The outward appearance is purely proportional remaining true to the legendary Dreadnought shape. Standard scale length AND standard depth allow this special new design to be approachable and easily playable by a diverse cross-section of players from different gneres.
