About the company:
The C. Bruno & Son was a large manufacturer of instruments in New York between 1884 and 1924. Its founder, Charles Bruno, moved from Germany to Georgia in 1832. Two years later he moved to New York and opened a book shop which evolved into a successful seller and trader of stringed instruments. Upon his death in 1884, Charles Bruno left the business to his son.
The firm did make some of its own instruments but most were just branded and sold by the shop. Bruno was an excellent entrepreneur and with his wide knowledge of musical history, he was able to sell fine instruments all over the country. C. Bruno & Son became one of the largest instrument sellers in New York at the time.
