| The National Reso-phonic Company
of California has just produced their first mandolins since WWII !!!
I've played some of the original issues and while some of them could be
a bit harsh sounding if attacked aggressively, this new wood body
version has a much more haunting and lyrical overall character.
This new National mandolin features a unique
ported soundwell, 9 1/2" biscuit & cone assembly, radiused
fingerboard and a gorgeous looking aged brass coverplate and tailpiece
that gives this instrument a very appealing retro appearance! |
