Hey Rick, that's an offer I can't refuse
Hopefully I'll make it there this time.

If you play in a style that makes use of string noise as part of your sound, then this might not be the bar for you.

Brad, I kinda like the ole string noise-bar chatter
type sound. I have a CD from a bluegrass band in the town across the river from me, and their dobro player has a lot of bar chatter, string buzzin in his
playing, and I kinda like that. Not sure what you call it, old style maybe. Anyways, how would I go about gettin that type of dobro sound from my Beard Goldtone Mahogany? Lighter bar? different guage strings?
