Dunlop JD932 Stainless Steel Tonebar 4 in x 13/16 in
Dunlop Stainless Steel Tonebars are made from high-quality stainless steel for exceptional tone and long life. Crafted in the USA since 1968, they're highly polished to deliver crystal clear tone and glide smoothly along your strings.
Choosing the right tonebar length is about what feels good in your hand. For many players, the sweet spot is a tonebar that rests comfortably in the pocket between the thumb and index finger and reaches just slightly past the tip of the index finger. Heavier bars can beef up your sustain, while bars with a wider diameter open up your vibrato.
Traditional sizes are a solid starting point: 10-string steel players tend to go for 3-1/4" and 3-3/8" lengths, and 12-string players most often prefer 3-9/16" and 3-3/4" lengths. 3-9/16" has become a versatile all-around choice for many steel players. Dunlop's range covers each of these in 7/8", 13/16" and 1" diameters.
