A Tonebar Designed for Precision on Pedal Steel
The Ernie Ball Tonebar Pedal Steel Heavy is a steel bar designed for guitarists seeking stable playing and reliable intonation. Its "heavy" format provides a natural pressing sensation, useful for mastering clean slides, sharp attacks, and wide vibrato without wavering. Thanks to its chromed steel, it offers a smooth surface that facilitates gliding and reduces catching sensations, even during slow and expressive passages. A relevant choice for styles where sustain and tuning make all the difference: country, ambient, blues, or cinematic textures.

Good bar, cheaper than some other brand that I won't mention here.
It is presented as a tonebar for Pedal Steel, but I think it's more for a lap steel or a dobro (that's just my opinion, huh! maybe Pedal Steelers use it)
8 cm long, 22 mm in diameter and 220 g seems sufficient but, I prefer bars that are 9 cm long and 25 mm in diameter.
I had just lost my steering wheel which forced me to order an emergency one.
So a bar that I will use with my lap steel or as a backup, if I ever lose my 9 cm bar againAutomatically translated
