Hello Antonio,

I also own a Bruno guitar; circa 1898 parlor model, and it's a delightful instrument. I was told when I bought it that Bruno was associated with Martin guitars, but after a bit of research I discovered that their partnership was dissolved long before this guitar was built, and that no Martin was ever built bearing only the Bruno name, so the hunt for a possible maker continues. I found a few similar instruments for sale on the internet and the asking price was generally around $400, but I don't think I would sell my instrument at any price.

Since you are in Mexico, I wanted to ask if you have ever seen an acoustic guitar marked "Florida" in your country. I had one many years ago and it was a charming instrument... I always suspected that it was either a Mexican or Spanish guitar.

Best regards, Pat

: Hello. I´m the owner of a C.Bruno acoustic guitar and C. Bruno mandolin, both are handcrafted in New York,maybe at the very beginning of 1900's and are very rare (and old), but with good sound and in good conditions.

: The guitar have the serial number 6842, and the mandolin have the number 8.
:
: I think they´re have a good value, but I really don´t know, I really be grateful if any of you gave me some information of this instruments, age, manufacturer, etc.
: I´m from Chihuahua, México. Thanks again.
