Description: 

The 1919 C.F. Martin Style C Mandolin is a high-end, vintage flat-back instrument known for its exceptional craftsmanship and rarity. Only 393 (or 394) Style C mandolins were produced. In 1919, this model represented a premium offering from Martin, featuring superior materials and ornate aesthetics compared to the entry-level Style A.

Very clean condition, original finish (no overspray), tuner plate is very clean with no rust/oxidizing. Binding is in excellent condition, pickguard is curling slightly with some small cracks in the top along the edge of the guard. Includes original hard case.

 

The 1919 Martin Style C mandolin is a rare, high-quality flat-back instrument produced during a short 1917–1920 production window. It features premium materials like Brazilian rosewood back/sides, an Adirondack spruce top, and ornate marquetry. Known for a brilliant, balanced tone suitable for classical/Celtic music, these are now prized vintage collectibles.
  • Body Type: Flat-back, bent-top ("induced arch") design.
  • Woods: Brazilian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack spruce top, and typically a cedar neck.
  • Ornamentation: Often features a Style "D" marquetry, pearl inlay, and intricate bindings. Some early 1919 models may feature abalone, according to discussions.
  • Hardware: Known for high-quality engraved tuners and ebony bridges.
  • Sound: Often described as having a bright tone, suitable for folk and classical styles.

These instruments are often considered premier examples of Martin's early 20th-century craftsmanship before they focused heavily on guitars.

Excellent Reference Book!
Format: Paperback
I don't think this book was meant to be read cover to cover. If it is, the reader better start reading at an early age because there are over 1,000 pages and print is small. However, the book is an excellent reference and provides data that other similar books do not cover. It is a worthy investment.

The definitive reference
Format: Kindle
The definitive reference. It can be a bit hard to use if you're not up on the jargon, but it's an invaluable work if you are interested in the technical aspects of poetics.
