National
Hide DescriptionEvery National String Instrument gives instant, proud response to the lightest touch. And only in these instruments will be found such rare beauty of tone. This and their powerful voicing combine with their attractive and unusual appearance to make them very valuable for stage and concert work – they never fail to impress an audience favorably. The beautiful body, carefully gauged and highly polished, will not tarnish, rust or deteriorate in any way, and with ordinary care will last a lifetime. Every product of the National String Instrument Corporation bears the trade-mark “NATIONAL.”
(From the 1930 National Catalog)
