1933/34 National Duolian resonator guitar!!

Just a close up Demo of the National..!! LoL!
It's a 1933/34 Duolian and it has got the "mojo" that makes old instruments more interesting than new.. At least that's how I feel..!! Played here in open E..

What an amazingly warm & sharp tone from that instrument. The notes seem to spring right out of it.

Love it.

[BottleneckJohn]

Thanks man!!

I agree with you, there's a tone in the old ones that just can't be reproduced properly today..

The fact that the aluminum in the cone has aged does the trick I guess..?

I love it too!!!

Ah okay, thanks a lot!

@zandinjepoes

Duolian is a National model.. Search for Regal Dobro here on YT and you'll see which guitar I mean..

@BottleneckJohn

Alright so there is some hope of finding one vintage Regal Duolian? Hope I will find one on Ebay! Thanks for the info!

[BottleneckJohn]

@zandinjepoes

A Regal made Dobro can be found for that amount, not a Style 0 though..

@BottleneckJohn

I know the Nationals are pretty expensive. But do you think there's a chance finding a nice 30's dobro like this one for around 600/700,-? Or maybe a style O? I want one so bad...

[barimayberry]

By the way I really enjoyed the guitar. Your blues groove is tight.

Jacksoncan I live in Texas and I would be interested in your National Resonator guitar however I do not know how to reach you in this forum. Kind of Sad.

[Voltage219]

This is very expensive guitar, but my dream is to have one of these someday.

I have an 1934/5 National E-Series 7606.. It's just been sitting in it's original case for over 60 years. It looks fantastic and I've been trying to do some research on it to sell it. If someone that knows a lot about these beautiful instruments wants to contact me to maybe help me out, that would be greatly appreciated!
