Who makes those new cobolt blue bars?

I like the color. (If I ever buy another steel it will be a Blue Darlin'.) I'll get one if they make them in my preferred size.

Are you referring to the Paloma bars made by Jay Seibert?

Thanks Tony. That's the one.

Mike, I bought one of his reso bars. I've been playing dobro for about 30 years (or so), and I've always used a Stevens bar. So I thought I'd try one of these. NO sustain, no top end--It did my Guernsey no favor at all. I suppose they'd be all right as an effect, but I couldn't make one entire song using it. I would advise anybody to try one first, if that were possible. I'll send you mine, if you'd like. It's not round, like my BJS bar, but you could get a pretty good idea of how it'd affect your steel tone.

Too bad. I love the color, but it they don't work as well as the others, I'm not gonna want to use it.

I think I'll stick to my BJS and zirc bars and pass on this one.

Mike - Didn't I send you a couple of those bars?

One blue and one white.

Hi Lee. I have a different white bar, besides the zirc, that might have come from you. I don't remember. (I'm getting old.

) I don't have a blue one.

But as I said earlier, if they don't work as well as the BJS and zirc bars, I'm not going to want to use them. Besides, my wife says the cobalt blue won't look good with my purple Millennium.
