Harley Benton Tonebar

I was fortunate enough to receive a pedal steel guutar rrcently. Itnlooked great, but I needed a bar to use. As I didn't know what was available, I viewed the Thomann website to see what I coukd buy.

There were quite a few different styles to choose trom. I noticed the Harley Benton tonebar and had a look at the specification. It comes in a realli nice little wood effect presentation box. The tonebar itself has a nice, solid feel due to it's solid condtruction. The weight means it sits easily on the strings without the need to press hard onto the string surface. The chrome surface is vety well applied, redulting inna super smooth feel.

The rounded "bullet end" style makes for very eady maneuvering across yhe strings. This is fantastic value for money. Go on, treat yourself!

This tone bar is really good quality for the price, especially when compared to similar offerings from other brands. It is presented in a nice little box, is beautifully smooth and of good weight.
It enables me to get nicely sustaining notes and it also easily spans all six strings for chords.
The tubular shape with no hand grip can be taxing on the muscles of the hand in the beginning but it is just a question of practice.
I would say that, if you want to play a lot of individual noting and lift the bar off of the strings alot, perhaps consider another style but for what I do - songs on electric lap steel - it is perfect.
