Hi Kimmers. Actually it shouldn't be hard to get an instrument of that style but you're gonna pay for it. Not neccessarily thousands, but close. The 12th Fret here in Toronto (check their website) have two pre-1900 Martins at pretty reasonable prices.......but.......here's a thought. It's brand new and sounds great, but it's cheap and the right size and shape. Larrivee's Parlour guitar might fill the bill.Rick
