Hi all.
got myself a bar today but it has a ,hand buffed satin finish,
delivert by mail,when I first ,[held it]. [felt it.]
shock horror,what a rough finish,I always polish my bars
big time,
but suprise suprise, it realy sounds better, fuller in sound, but it does make string noises.
so what do I gain? and why is this so.?
anyone,
Cheers from "Down under".

| I bought one of those satin finished bars by mistake and I don't like it much because of the string noise.To much of a pain to return it so I'll keep it and maybe someday will find a use for it. |

"so what do I gain? and why is this so.? "
My guess is your bar is acting like a violin bow. It's texture is grabbing the strings a little when you vibrato your bar.
Some of the energy comes out as unwanted string noise, but some of it adds to the richness and sustain of your sound.
