It sounds really good. I saw another Youtube of a guy playing a Chinese knockoff of a National, that sounded OK, but not as good as this video.
Seems today I've been hearing all kinds of songs on the radio played on a resonator. Funny how I notice it now that one is coming into my hands. I never really paid attention before.
I'm branching out from purely playing normal acoustics. I'm even listening to mandolins and other stringed instruments. No banjos in my future though.
