Our new 2006 Catalogue is a departure from our usual paper catalogue. Instead of a booklet, there are individual cards for a variety of our instruments, with a brief description, history, and specifications on one side and an image of theinstrument on the other, much like the trading cards of yore. It also contains two CDs: (1) our AudioCatalogue and (2) “Artists in Resonance, Vol. II” featuring 23 different musicians playing a variety of tunes on their National Reso-Phonic instruments—guitars, mandolins, and ukuleles.

The catalogue is available for only $15 USD plus shipping and handling.

To order, call us at (805) 546-8442; fax us at (805) 546-8430 or e-mail us at orders@nationalguitars.com.
We accept MasterCard, Visa and Discover.

The material on this CD has been assembled to facilitate comparisons of the various instruments, makes and models currently in production at National Reso-Phonic Guitars. Discussed and demonstrated by Bob Brozman, each instrument is played in various tunings and styles. Included are: Single cone Style "0" (brass) and Delphi (steel), tricone Style "1" (brass) and Polychrome (steel); Radio-Tone Bendaway (wood); Estralita (now Deluxe, also wood); 12-string brass single and tricone; brass Style "1" Baritone; Model D (wood, spider cone); wood and steel ukuleles and the acoustic-electric ResoLectric.

The disk ends up with several instrumental numbers by Doug MacLeod, Catfish Keith (playing his steel Baritone Polychrome Tricone), Hull and Larson and Bob Brozman. This CD is designed to answer such frequently asked questions as "What's the difference between a single cone and a tricone?"


This compilation is an excellent supplement to the AudioCatalogue, featuring 24 recordings of artists playing their National Reso-Phonic instruments. Hear our instruments in use!
