Video of an 1890 Martin Guitar Restoration

For the past several months I have been restoring an 1890 Martin parlor guitar. The stress level has been a bit higher than normal during this project.
I have made a small video that explains some history of the instrument and shows some of the restoration process. I also do some playing on this wonderful instrument. I hope you enjoy it.
Of the three guitars I had for sale at Acoustic Pro Musician in Texas, there is only one of them left. In my opinion this was the best of the lot. It is called the orchid guitar and features marquetry on the peghead. Here is a video of National Fingerstyle champion, Michael Chapdelaine, playing the orchid guitar. Michael will also be playing my guitars again this year at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival.
Happy Building!
