We are pleased to offer powder coated tone bars in various colors and sizes: lap steel bars, “standard” 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ used by many 8 and 10 string players, 15/16″ x 3 3/8″ and 1″ x 3 1/2″.
We manufacture and sell a stainless steel Sitar bar in “standard” 7/8″ x 3 3/8″.
The concept behind powder coating a perfectly good steel is that it seems to be a bit “faster”, is easier to hold on to, produces less string noise, and dampens the treble just slightly.
