A Tone Bar Designed to Bring Lap Steel to the Forefront
Ben Harper has greatly contributed to bringing the lap steel back into fashion, taking it beyond traditional boundaries to integrate it into rock, blues, and roots music. The Jim Dunlop 928 fits into this dynamic: a tone bar developed to match a contemporary playing technique that is more mobile, more energetic, where execution speed and mastery of nuances make all the difference.
Comfort, Speed, and Expressiveness at Your Fingertips
According to Ben Harper, this tone bar stands out for its lightness and comfort, two essential points when working through long sets, expressive vibratos, fast slides, or phrases requiring great left-hand precision. The result: you gain agility without sacrificing control, with a pleasant feel that encourages freer and more expressive playing on your lap steel.
- Designed to accommodate Ben Harper's playing techniques
