According to the person I bought it from, it was first owned by a Hawaiian musician in the 1940s. I can't verify that with 100% certainty, but I can verify that it is a Style 1, which means it was made between 1922 and 1965. It has two repaired cracks, as can be seen in the ninth picture. It sounds and feels just like other vintage Martin tenors I have played. For the entire time I've owned this, it has been humidified with an Oasis humidifier. A great instrument, but with the savings I need to make, and my limited storage space, it's best if I sell it.The original black plastic bridge pins will be included in case you want them (as seen in the tenth picture).
