I’m signed up, so go Mary! Thanks for the entertaining and fascinating content.
What happened to the antique 19th-Century Martin Guitar borrowed from the Martin Museum for the Quinton Tarantino movie, 'The Hateful Eight'?
Mahogany? So they ignore the international ban on trading it and contribute towards the deforestation and extinction of it? Greeeeeeat...... 😕
Now do the Gibson Bozeman plant!
There is something very therapeutic about watching things being made. I get the same release of oxytocin when I watch videos of cute puppies being bathed, dried and trimmed. Sounds daft, but I can watch stuff like that for hours. The explanation over the top is just gravy. Thanks 👍
Thank you. More than a dozen years ago, my wife and I were touring colleges with our son, who plays guitar. We surprised him after a college tour by going to the Martin factory. He was overjoyed. Being a woodworker myself, I was enthralled at the machine but more so with the craftspeople working there. It is clear they have talent and take pride in their work. After the tour, we went to the rooms where our son could try some of the sample guitars. He picked up a $50,000 guitar (I was freaking out - he was just 17 at the time!) and played a wonderful song. Amazing. He then went over and picked up a 12 string, which he never played before and started play Hotel California. We've heard him play that song on his 6 string but is was a different experience, it was as if he had only been playing half the song (go figure - LOL). It was a great time and insight into watching a group of artists do their craft. Thanks for creating this video.
You’re son is a brave, brave man to be picking up $50,000 guitars! I would be terrified of damaging it! Great story 😊
Beautiful story Ronald. The memory of playing those expensive instruments will stay forever with your son. If he continues playing guitar, those memories will be benchmarks for when he buys guitars.
The machines are nifty. The magic is the people.
What a precious memory that must be :)
I’m afraid of picking up a $200 guitar😂
I am fortunate enough to be about 75 min from the Martin factory in Nazareth, Pa. I have been there a handful of times and have taken the tour twice. It feels like hallowed ground then you are there. I also own two late 1980's Martins, a D35 and a J40 (i posted reviews of both on my own channel). Any time i have any issue whatsoever, I bring them back to the factory to have then serviced. Their staff are always top notch in their attention to detail and customer service. They certainly stand by their instruments!!!!!
Spender and Martin, perfect match.
Both are defective
@@MichelleLouiseDavis-zl7ub Mary is defective??? I think not.
@amain325 she's meant you be a guitarist but she's fone more tslking than playing and she doesn't even teach
My wife plays Martins and loves her 1971 000-18 that she bought new on her 21st birthday. She also has a gorgeous and beautiful sounding 1990 J-40 (rosewood) that has deep Martin tone for days. We bought our son a 00-15 (mahogany top) when he was 15. We’re definitely a Martin family. All 3 of us toured the Nazareth factory in 2003 when we were on a cross country motorhome trip. We loved it. Fantastic video! Did not know Martin also Pleks their newly built guitars. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice! I visited the factory in April 2006 to pick up a Custom based on a D-42 spec, flying in from West Africa. I did the factory tour too. It was very memorable, also the drive from Manhattan. I also purchased a secondhand OM-42 QMII that trip. These two instruments are still cherished by me 17 years later and played often. I can really recommend a factory trip. The museum at the factory is also great.
Lovely, thanks Mary ❤️
Good job Mary. Thanks for the tour.
7:14 - Fun fact: a *huge* number of Martin dreadnaughts in the 70's were built and sold while the bridge gauge was out of alignment. I was looking at a 1973 D-35 years ago and that was a bit of info I dug up. To this day (original owner or not), if you have one of these guitars, Martin will fix the bridge at zero cost.
Great work Mary!
Great video! Great to see this process which is amazing!
thank you for the WONDERFUL share !
Beautiful work Mary.
Love my Martin! Thanks for sharing this
Great video! Love my Martin!
Great video, Mary! Thank you for putting this together. Loved it!
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I'm sending you love 💕
Great Video Mary.
Quite a process.
Good seeing you again.
Looking forward to watching your documentary. I am a big fan of Martin Guitars. Love my HD-28.
Wow Mary! This is one of the most informative and beautifully done videos about acoustic guitar I’ve ever seen. Thank you for all you do. ❤
Great video again Mary
Beautiful job!!
Great video, thanks Mary.
Great information thanks.
and a massive thanks to you...... what a great video ...... the best of any of the Martin produciton process videos on YT.
Your diction is so clear and perfect ! It's a pleasure just to listen to you.😊And your smile when you enter the workshop like you are stepping into paradise is priceless ! 😄
I love how you don't waste any time in your informational videos. You are clear and concise whilst remaining very entertaining. Thank you for doing what you do, Mary!
Thanks Mary. Love it.
Thanks for another great video. It's always great to see how guitars are made.
Superb job. Concise, informative, and entertaining. Cheers!❤
Awesome Mary!!
Thanks for Sharing this video! Very good,intresting and informative!!
Wow ! Another super video! Thank you for all the effort put into this video. )))
That’s another wonderful episode! Done with style, as usual. I agree the craftsmanship of Martin Guitars is GOLD standard…. Love your work ❤😊
Thanks Mary! Awesome. I have always been a huge fan of Martin Guitars and you've captured on video their fine art of guitar making
Mary, Mary... you just make me happy - thanks, as always, for a high-quality video - loved it!
Can't believe you were just a few miles away and didn't tell me! I would have loved to go on that tour with you. Keep up the great work, and thank you for showcasing a great American company.
Same!!!
yup
I am about 5 miles from the factory too. Havent taken the tour, but I try to make Martin on Main every year.
A fascinating tour ,thank you for sharing this video of how these beautiful instruments are made with love and skill . And how you produced this video with love and skill.
Thank You so much. What a great video. I absolutely love my Martin!!
Excellent video! Gorgeous guitars!!
Awesome insight!🤠
Love this video. I own a Martin and it is a wonderful instrument. Through your video, I can see how much attention to detail and love is put into each instrument. Glad that there is a company like Martin out there. Thanks for the video and I really enjoyed your narration.
Your writing and narration in this clip is sublime and precise I look forward to the full length feature
Nice video Mary! Great short version and lead-in for the full documentary. I’m intrigued…
Nice, nice, nice vid! Really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!
That was a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Outstanding job Ms Spender - really appreciate this one a great deal.
good job great video very concise
Hi Mary! I'm glad you got to go over to the Martin facility for a tour. For 12 years I lived in the next town to the east, not far from Martin's, and I have toured there several times. I saw changes over the years, mostly to include more automation. If I remember right, some of the sanding machines were built by Martin's electrical and mechanical technicians, since what was needed was not available on the open market. I guess those units could have been replaced by now with commercially produced machines. Or not, I'm not certain. I always loved the smells there -- freshly sawn wood, and acrylic lacquer. Lacquer finishing on guitars requires the same skills as those in refinishing a car. If Jeff Beck were still with us, he'd tell you the same! He was a very skilled auto body man and mechanic, as well as a guitarist. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Lehigh Valley, and to Martin Guitar!
great video!!! also a martin fan!! thank you so much for making this video!!!
This was such an interesting watch, in such a relaxing way! Thank you for making it
Thanks Mary for putting together a nice video. It took me down memory lane. I visited the Nazareth factory back in 1972 and thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the museum. I see that Martin's manufacturing processes have changed which one would expect after 50+ years. They are clearly more efficient but still focused on quality and craftsmanship.
Thank you Mary , always so interesting .
Very nice video!
Great job Mary
Totally cool Mary. Thank you miss.
Very thorough. ❤
Thanks for the tour and talk 👍🏽
Big fan of Martin guitars as well. Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing it!
Great video. Thank you.
Superb video. Your word economy is refreshing and appreciated. Well done. Love my Martin.
Hey Mary, thank you for sharing! Great guitars, wow!
I bought a second hand 000M and absolutely love it. I appreciate it’s at the cheaper end of the Martin range, but I love it to bits.
Very interesting video. Thank you for showing us all, and thanks to Martin's guitars
I took the tour several months ago and it was a fascinating time. I was struck at the range of technology being used. The laser cutting of the tops and back at one end of the spectrum, to clothes pins for clamps at the other end. Very educational. I recommend a tour for any guitarist.
Very amazed with and thankful for the craftsmen and craftswomen working on our guitars at Martin. I love my Martin. Nice doc, Mary. TY
Hello Mary, Thanks For This Video
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Mary!
Great video !! I love the longer video on Nebula.
Nice job. Very useful descriptions for those who may be somewhat new to guitars, but I (55-year player) also enjoyed the care you took with the narrative.
Awesome video! Thank you so much for Putting so much time and effort into creating this!
Wow. I just got my first Martin, and this makes it even better. What an awesome insight into the people who make it all happen.
This was informative and interesting. I liked learning how these guitars are made.
I had the honor of putting an LR Baggs pickup in a D-18 recently. Great combination! I also love the Takamine CT-4 electronics.
I love watching a good guitar being made. A great video!
As do I. However Martin is no longer the company it was pre CFM IV.
Was fortunate enough to get mine over a year ago. The guitar has become a part of my soul. Great video on how these are constructed and hand made
Love it! I live in NJ so only a couple hour drive to their factory. I went for a tour there and was just drooling over all the guitars, especially in their museum area. Spent another couple hours just trying out all the different ones. Ended up buying a 000-12E Road Series, the back and sides are Koa and the grain is beautiful!
Thank you for another GREAT video, mum! I felt that I saw all I needed to know about Martin.
Thank you for this video. I have seen many of the CF Martin Videos but your is short and sweet. I own a 000-28 and I am loving it. It is beautiful in looks and also sounds. So, as far as I am concerned I am a big fan of you and CF Martin. Cheers from Switzherland
So bummed I missed seeing you at namm!! Great video as always Mary!!
Fantastic video, Mary!
Would love to see you do one with Daisy Tempest!
I own a Martin 00L 17E, and it's such a beautiful instrument. It's extremely light, it looks absolutely gorgeous and sounds amazing.
Great video! I have some Taylors, which I like, but at some point in time there will be a Martin joining the herd. Thanks for taking us on the tour Mary! Enjoy!
I love this kind of videos, especially I was eager to watch a martin's video because of kurt cobain's martin d18e.
Another great video by Miss Mary, always a treat, I'm headed to Nebula RIGHT NOW!
Great video!
Tks good video I had & loved a Martin in days so nice of a tone bring tears to your eyes cheers from Mestengo
Love my lefty OMC18E.., had to wait six-months for her to be built.., it was definitely worth the wait... great video, appreciate the insight into the process that brought my Martin to me...
Definitely a lot of work 😱
Amazing video 👏🏻
I really enjoyed this. Time to save up for one of the Martin Standard series guitars.
Thanks Martin Spender, that was cool and informative.
Great mini doc Mary as always your content has a polish “scuse the pun” to it that makes all you do very watchable and interesting.
Well done thank you.
I love Martin! As a lefty I was lucky enough to find a Martin at my local guitar shop and I’ve been playing it live for a couple years now. Such a full sound.
Thank you. I loved seeing how my Martin was made. Great video.
What a great video and interview. Thank you so much I appreciate the time you put into making this. I've been a musician in the past but I played the trumpet and I'd like to transition to guitar. I like this brand a lot the attention to detail and craftsmanship is beautiful.
Got my first Martin (a DSS-17) a little over a year ago and playing it for the first time was absolutely shocking! The sustain never stopped and the projection and volume was off the scale. I played it in a bar in Ireland with other Trad musicians and even when I wasn't playing it, the top was vibrating sympathetically with the frequencies of the other instruments. Expensive but, as you said, you can't rush (or put a price) on quality - the difference is clear to me. I bought another one since for travel (a DJR-10E Dreadnought Junior) and it is also amazing. Not quite as loud, sure - but sooooo nice to play. Thanks Mary - a great video.
I really enjoyed your video about Martin Guitars. I have a D35 and it was cool to see that model being made.
Mary, a few years back on DYI Network here in the states, there was a program called 'Handmade Music'. They had a few episodes about Lynn Dudenbostel, a luthier, and followed along as he built a D-28 type guitar. It was fascinating to watch. I can't find it online anywhere but I do still have it on VCR. That one program started me on my guitar building journey. Great stuff!
I remember his explanation of the nitro finish as " it's not about how much finish you put on the guitar, as it is about how much finish you 'leave' on the guitar."
I enjoyed this. I've been to the Martin factory and took the tour, but you got to see, and record, more than we saw. Thank you.
