1910's Bruno Style E

This beautiful instrument is among the classiest and most tasteful parlor guitars we've ever seen. Roughly the dimensions of a Martin size 1, This Bruno features gorgeous Brazilian rosewood back and sides and an Adirondack top. The body, fingerboard and headstock are bound with real ivory, the rosette is hand inlaid mother-of-pearl in a beautiful Celtic-chain pattern, the German-silver engraved tuning machines with ivoroid buttons are in perfect working order, the ebony pyramid bridge is full height and meticulously carved, and the shellac finish has crazed magnificently all over the instrument.It is original down to the endpin, except for a 1" section binding that has been replaced near the neck. Set up with extra-light steel strings or silk and steels this guitar has a voice much deeper and warmer that you'd expect from a ladder-braced top. Playability, frets, action, and set up are all perfect. A few tight back cracks have been expertly repaired, as well as a small section of back binding at the lower treble bout. The instrument's neck is a comfortable V profile, with a scale length of 25" and has an ivory nut that measures 1-7/8".
With recent hard shell case.
