Vintage 1924 Martin T-18 Tiple w/ Hard Shell Case

Serial #: 24186

At first glance, the Tiple resembles a small guitar or a large ukulele. Brought over to the Americas by the Spanish, as early as the 18th century, this unique instrument is known for its bright, resonant sound. A member of the guitar family, the Tiple shares certain construction features with classical and folk guitars. Though most popular in Latin American countries (deemed the national instrument of Colombia), the Tiple has been adapted and enjoyed by North American folk musicians - particularly in the United States.
