Hello, and welcome, I'm Morgan Pettinato, President of East Coast Music Mall.

If there exists one single instrument that has been at the forefront of the American musical journey for more than 175 years, it is the Martin guitar. From the earliest folk idioms in the nineteenth century, to today's hugely popular rebirth of the singer songwriter, countless songs have been accompanied by the silvery, singular tone of a Martin. Recently, and with great pride, the factory built its one millionth instrument. Think of it, over one million musicians have had the pleasure of owning and playing a Martin.

Here at ECMM, we proudly offer you the most rewarding, educational - and fun -Martin shopping experience anywhere! As one of the nation's top ten Martin dealers, year in and year out, we know Martin guitars. And our status as Martin's number one repair facility makes that point abundantly clear. In fact, we're so dedicated to the Martin "experience" that, every year, we hire a custom coach, invite a busload of our friends and customers and make a "pilgrimage to guitar Mecca" - a road trip to the Martin factory in Nazareth, PA where we get a special VIP tour of this legendary facility. That's a perk for being friends with Chris Martin himself.

So, why buy your dream Martin from us? For starters, our in-store inventory is second to none. And, as one of Martin's top dealers, we get the cream of the crop from the factory, hand picked by our own factory liaison. But suppose your dream model, anywhere from an amazingly high quality entry level guitar, to a spectacular custom shop masterpiece glowing with the patina of rare wood, isn't in stock? Well, we can start the ball rolling with one phone call. In either case, it won't be long until you hear that lush, sweet Martin tone singing its song to your ears.

At ECMM, we know fine instruments must be treated with respect and care, and there is no one better suited to the job then my partner Barry. A published author, a recognized authority and a columnist for Guitar magazine, Barry lives and breathes guitars. In fact, Barry signs off on every Martin guitar that leaves ECMM!

When you've decided on the exact model that has your name on it - that was fun wasn't it ? - we'll continue to make your Martin buying experience one you'll always remember. Got a trade in? Great! How about our instant financing option? - it's all here and available to you at ECMM right now!

So, are you ready to own the ultimate guitar and join the list of world class musicians who won't play anything but a Martin? Are you ready for your musical life to change forever? Then we need to hear from you. Come on, let's have some fun together!

Give us a call at 1-800-901-2001 or email us. Your dream Martin is here... it's waiting for you!

We also extend a warm welcome to those of you in the worship community. Introduce yourself to us and we'll go out of our way to help you with any of your pro audio and musical instrument needs. We've been the number one supplier to Lakewood church and Pastor Joel Osteen for years - that makes us very happy and extra proud! Get in touch soon and we'll make beautiful music together - guaranteed!

One final note: In the preface to the 1904 catalog, Frank Henry Martin explained to potential customers, "How to build a guitar to give this tone is not a secret. It takes care and patience. Care in selecting the materials, laying out the proportions, and attending to the details which add to the player's comfort. Patience in giving the necessary time to finish every part. A good guitar cannot be built for the price of a poor one, but who regrets the extra cost for a good guitar?" This sentiment applies perfectly today as well. Give us a call. We've got your Martin.

We look forward to working with you.

Respectfully Yours, Morgan Pettinato, President and Owner, East Coast Music Mall
