Martin 1840s 16 size 3 Parlor Nylon-String Acoustic Guitar
A true piece of history from Martin's first two decades of manufacturing guitars. Christian Frederick Martin arrived in North America in 1833 in New-York. Before that, he was an apprentice with the most important Viennese luthier of its time, Johann Georg Stauffer. There is a fair chance that this guitar has been built by C.F. Martin himself as it was built in the 1840s. This guitar is in good playing condition, and is strung with Nylon strings, tuned in 430hz to relieve tension.
According to the grand daughter of the previous owner, the guitar has been in the same house (see last picture) for about 100 years. The house was built shortly after the Civil War. The house was in Indiana and was on the underground railroad, the secret routes used by enslaved African-Americans to escape into free states. The man was a judge and his wife was a poetress and they were respectively from Philadephia and New Jersey. She was a Remington, as in the rifle company.
