Does anyone know what size ...weight...make... of bar David Hartley uses?

Good evening. Dave actually answers emails that I have written and seems like a very personably fella. I do not know what bar he uses but he would tell you if asked I bet.

Enjoy steelin'

Hello AJ;
I know he will answer your question but read this thread.. Ron

Don't know what bar he uses but from the videos I have seen...he could probably use a lifter from a 1963 Chevy 327 and sound great

Dave has said in at least one post that he uses the BJS bar.

I have it on good authority that he uses a 15/16" BJS bar.

Rick you are right on, he uses the 15/16 Birthstone Bar 10 String. And he knows how to use it. I want to take this time to Say Thanks to each and everyone that uses the BJS Bars I do my best to keep on producing them as long as the Good Lord Allows me to.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day.
Best regards,
Bill

THANK YOU ALL FOR REPLYING

It heard to sit down at my steel and pick up my BJS bar and not think of Bill, and the love for pedal steel he has put into that bar.

<BJS all the way!...15/16!!

Hi everyone. It's a BJS 15/16 10 string birthstone bar. And occasionally, its been known for me to use the 'Fox Inn' just up the road from me

Hey, have you seen DH in HD yet?

This post reminds me of a Tommy Tedesco seminar I attended .Tommy spent about 30 minutes recapping his enourmous and very impressive list of TV,Film, and Recording credits, then proceeded to "shred" in every imaginable style for 10 or 15 minutes. He then recounted the hours of practice and dedication it took to break into the L.A scene. At that point, he opened the floor to questions from the attendees. Wanna guess what the first question was? Yeah, it was, "what kind of strings do you use?" T.T. fired back...."why does that matter?"(censored) Perfect answer, BTW.
