"An instrument importer and dealer, Bruno immigrated from Germany to Macon, Georgia in 1832. In 1834, Bruno moved to New York where he probably worked as a clerk or salesman for several years before being listed as a book seler in 1837. In 1838, Bruno formed the first of his many partnership, this one with the famous guitar maker Chiristian F. Martin. His book shop on Fulton Street probably served as a retail outlet for Martin's guitars, and when Bruno & Martin dissolved in 1839, Bruno left the city for several years. ... See Martin & Bruno.

"He departed for New York on September 9, 1833, and first appears in New York directories in 1834 as a violin and guitar maker at 196 Hudson Street. Though Martin is not known to have made any violins in New York, his wholesale and retail shop sold imported instruments and accessories as well as his own guitars. He also adverted instrument repairs and piano tuning. After a brief association with one Heinrich Schatz, Martin entered partnership with Charles Bruno (founder of C. Bruno & Son) on May 1, 1838, at 212 Fulton Street. Bruno, who had come from Germany to Macon, Georgia, in 1832 and had moved two years later to New York, continued to distribute Martin's guitars even after May 29, 1839, when Martin sold his stock to Ludecus & Wolter. ...
