Comments	It’s Twins – a pair of National Rope Bound Koa Resonator Ukuleles swaddled in form-fit hardshell cases! Ukuleles have been enjoying a resurgence in popularity, and top-level builders have been stepping up to provide top-level instruments. National ResoPhonic’s response to the Ukulele is typical of other National products – quality materials, solid construction, excellent workmanship, stunning looks, and great sound. These two instruments are from National Reso-Phonic’s custom shop – the rope binding is a special order!
