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.
