I had the good fortune to play this Martin. It's in pristine condition and the custom walrus ivory bridge pins makes it sing even clearer than before. There are no condition issues at all. I know the only reason he's selling is because he all of a sudden got Bass-itus and also owns a rare one of a kind spruce top Martin bari.

I think this is one of the best if not the best Martin bari. I've ever played. You won't be disappointed. The friction tuners are in excellent condition if desired to go original and the Gotohs are just a few months old and are like new.

Purchase of my Martin spruce/hog bari, and U-Bass UAS, make me the motivated seller of this B51. It needs nothing but a good home. Purchased from Hugo Helmer Music in Burlington, WA, July 2019.

T-I CF128 middle 4 strings; Bryan England Custom Inlay fossilized walrus ivory bridge pins. Original friction tuning machines are included in the TKL hardshell case. $1500 OBO includes USPS Priority Insured to CONUS. Many more pics, back, sides, neck, Gotohs, in the Dropbox folder. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/divmp2zx2...8w9AqDgxa?dl=0.
And I'll add a sound file tomorrow.
Thanks for looking!

Anyone looking for a serious well made instrument may want to consider this. I've played this one a number of times and it never fails to impress bigtime. I know Cubeistan paid more for it and then upgraded the tuners and bridge pins.

I feel this is the best baritone being sold on the Marketplace. You won't be disappointed.

This very well kept B51 needs nothing but another good home. Bought from Hugo Helmer Music in Burlington, WA, July 2019. No cracks nor indications thereof. Sale prompted by Martin spruce/hog bari & U-Bass purchases. Tao Tronic room humidifier set at 45 & 50% RH on the few days below that, that we've had here to date.

No more room on the walls, floor, or in da closets.

This very well kept B51 needs nothing but another good home. Purchased from Hugo Helmer Music in Burlington, WA, July 2019. There are no cracks, suspect cracks, (linear indications (as you had to state, squawking hulls back in the day). A Martin spruce/hog bari, and U-Bass purchases prompt the sale. Have had the Tao Tech humidifier set at 45-50% RH on the very few days below that, that we've had up here to date.

Just a bump for this close to pristine Baritone. Probably the finest example of an early Martin B51 I've ever played. Owned by a man who truly cares for any instrument he buys and ensures they are in better condition, if needed, by a very well know luthier. I've bought several instruments from him and have always been more than satisfied by the fairness and high standards he has.
