I have for sale a genuine antique C. Bruno acoustic parlor guitar. It is known as “flat top” model. I believe it was made in the late 1800’s in New York City As you can see from the photos, it is well worn and used It has interesting features like mother of pearl inlays for the sound hole It does have some issues: The bridge has lifted from the soundboard (see last photo) so I have not fully tuned the strings to avoid further damage The soundboard has warped up a little and there are some cracks. (see photo# 11 and additional photos below) Also the tuning peg for 3rd “G” string is slipping. The dimensions are approximately: 36″ long, 11 5/8″ wide, and 3 1/2 thick body Otherwise the guitar has a nice action and produces a great sound for it’s size I will also include a case (see photo below) This is a rare, masterfully crafted musical instrument. That has a true sense of history and tradition. I believe with some work, this guitar can be a museum quality piece Thanks for looking! Please check out additional photos below.
