Rare Antique C. BRUNO NEW YORK Flat Top Acoustic Parlor Guitar. Beautiful!

Description

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!

Here's an awesome Ramirez guitar. "2a" is only different than 1a in terms of cosmetics. And honestly, they're all different in sound quality. This one is a great example. Most Ramirez's I've heard are inferior to this one in terms of the elusive "Spanish mystery tone". The ding pictured below the bridge is cosmetic, and luckily not vital to the structure of the top. I'm just trying to sell it for extra money, not anything to do with the guitar. Message me with any questions! Thanks and happy buying.
