Tone Bar question

Can anybody point me in the direction of a Tipton/Lapdawg/Scheerhorn style bar that's got extra mass so it will sound good on Pedal Steel?

I see there is a Shubbs Robert Randolph bar that is a stevens version. I'm looking for something with a bit more of a radius.

Thanks! John

Ya know, I'm sure you can find what you want if you look around. But you might want to play with a more standard round bar that most steel players use. It is always good to be able to use what is all over the place just in case you forget it, lost it or need a quick replacement. Just my own thinking. al

Thanks Al, that's some good advice! I do have a regular bar and intend to use it mostly. I am new to pedals and was hoping to try and see if I could get in the neighborhood of the feel of my lapsteel bars. I'm not sure if those bars exist but I'll keep hunting.
