You don't have to be a musician to appreciate the art and craft of making musical instruments.
Having grown up in the 1960s thru the 1980's I have watched the evolution of guitars in pop culture. I don't know much about guitars but I do know and remember that "Martin Guitars" was and continue to be some of the best ever made!
Most musical instruments began as handmade, today however many are made with machines.
The early Martin Guitars have a unique sound and are much sought after.
In the video below Mary Spender takes us on a tour of the original factory in Nazareth, PA and we are treated to some of her singing!
