    "​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. Martin followed Schatz to the Moravian community at Nazareth, Pennsylvania, where the family-owned Martin company still flourishes. / Martin's guitars bore New York labels until 1989; they were sold in New York by John Coupa, among others, in the 1840s, and later by a number of dealers, including Bruno and C. A. Zoebisch, whose names appear sporadically with Martin's on labels and in directory listings. The Museum's oldest Martin guitar (Fig. 148) is branded C. F. Martin New-York on the back; inside, a pink paper label probably engraved by W. F. Harrison includes Fulton Street address but has 196 Hudson Street by hand. Since this label displays Martin's name alone, the guitar it identifies was probably made before the Martin-Bruno partnership took effect. / ... "
