Hey Paul, thanks for your interest. Sorry, I don't have any videos or sound files to post. I would describe the tone as having a pronounced mid range. Great for blues but not very bright so probably not the best choice for bluegrass... Thanks.

Here is fellow forumite and Northern Californian Pete Grant playing a Model D 10 years ago. He is in Open D tuning:

Thanks for the link, Mark. Yes, that's pretty much what this guitar sounds like.

A feature that I love about the Model D and you didn't mention is that the strap on the coverplate that protects the bridge is removeable.

You also didn't mention that it's a really good price!

Thanks Pete, for pointing that out... Yeah, I'm taking a loss but just not playing much Dobro these days. Definitely a good deal for a National Model D. Thanks!
