I'm looking for a wood tone bar to try out for some different sonic options. Is this a thing? Haven't been able to find one. Anyone know where I can get one?
Thanks! |

Some steelers use a wood bar to help get a dobro effect.

I bet some polished petrified wood would be really nice.

A chunk of 1 inch PVC pipe works good also.

Me too (about three and a quarter inches of it, not the entire thing). |

After reading your posting, I found an old bar in my "junk drawer" upstairs. I bought it almost 15 years ago when I started playing steel. It is made from a piece of some kind of hard wood from Texas. I forget the name. Anyway it is 3 3/4 " long and 1" in diameter.
I never was able to make much use of it. The bar is a bit on the light weight side. When my wife gets home with her cell phone camera. I will send you a picture of it.
I will be glad to send it to you at no charge if you can use it.
I don't like to have old stuff laying around not being used. I usually try to find someone who can use it.

I just remembered that the type of wood the tone bar is made from is mesquite. it is pretty hard but not too heavy.

I forgot my bar one night and went into the janitor closet at the bar. Saw a saw and a broom. Got through the night with that crude thing. I wonder what the janitor thought when he saw that broom.?
