Imperial Valley Guitar Co. Cutaway Roundnose Tone Bar Slide for Dobro, Lap Steel
Imperial Valley Guitar Co.
specializes in resonator guitars and acoustic Hawaiian guitars. This is a new product from them that goes right along with their Hawaiian steel guitars.
It is a steel or "tonebar" that uses the Stevens type design with the finger groove on the top, but adds a cutaway on the front end with a rounded nose. The advantage of this is that with the rounded nose the player can tilt the steel bar up and be able to cleanly play single notes on any string. With a traditional square ended Stevens bar it
’
s very difficult to play single notes anywhere except the very top or very bottom strings.
The new design is similar to some of the Shubb tonebars but has a more rounded nose and tighter radius bottom surface for a smoother vibrato.
