Vintage Guitar Research
Am looking for info on a c.1898 Bruno Made in USA, Lyra model acoustic "parlor" guitar. It may have been a guitar that could have been purchased from a Sears or Mont. Ward catalog?
I'm going to try it out tomorrow - a friend acquired it from someone and they're not certain of it's value, etc. My friend sent me photos...so I'll have to ask her if I can post some back here. The only issue I can see from the photos is that the bridge has been glued on (and terribly). Not sure if it's the original bridge...but it looks like ebony and the pegs too - they have MOP inlay. It's a plain-looking model, not too many embellishments and of course, I'm just interested in how it plays/sounds.
Not too much coming up in google searches so we're kind of at a loss there and would appreciate any info you guys may have, thanks!
