I can't remember where I saw them but someone makes a steel bullet bar that's rounded on both ends. Where can I find one, does anyone know?

I bought one last year from Scotty's Music. I think the web address is
www.scottysmusic.com
A very comfortable bar but a little tricky to control if you do a lot of slants. |

| Being round at both ends might make it difficult to play reverse slants....(?) JMHO. |

Yep, Scotty's Music has it, it's called the Twister. George I've been using a glass bar of this shape and find no problem, well no more problem than usual with reverse slants. I normally like a three inch bar and the glass bar is 3 1/4 giving me the same length of straight sides making contact with the strings. I do like the feel of the rounded end against my hand. Very comfortable. Thanks much for the quick replies.
