Bobbe,What are you charging for these bars? What sizes do you have available? Is there a thumb-indent in the bar? Thanks ------------------

Thank you Gary. I means a lot to me that you like the glass bar so much! People are sure having fun with these. Hopefully it will make a difference. Bobbe Seymour and Steel Guitar Nashville has just been great to deal with. Once the pedal steel players find out about these through him and the fo-bro's who have used them I think it is going to get busy.
Thanks again to everyone who took the chance on these. ------------------

Thanks to Rick A. for spreading the word.
Gary is great to deal with, very easy.
I've had my lead filled for a week now, and
love it!!! Broke my wrist in 2001, but the
glass is much easier to grip than stainless.
Nice smoooth chord sound and just point
that tip for clean single notes with
sustain for days. Good job guys. I'll be
back after I've lived with this one for awhile. |

I just called the store and I was told that they didn't get in any glass bars yet. Next week I was told.  |

We are very anxious to get them in, I'm a hard core believer in the sales of this product, but as a player and user, I believe in them even more!

Received my 1" glass-lead filled bar yesterday and I love it. Just the right weight and has lots more sustain than the steel bar I was using. Thanks Gary and Jeff for an excellent product.------------------

Bobbe may be out of town. Oh, Isn't this the old fan fair week in Nashville?
I can't keep track. Anyway, yes, you can get a 3/4 X 2 3/4" bar.
Try him again. I am sure he will get back to you soon.
Thank you.Gary |

I got this from Bob Brozman today:“Congratulations for a great sounding bar! It sounds wonderful on my 22- string Chaturangui, (Hindustani Slide Guitar).” -Bob Brozman And to think we have to only worry about eight strings! THANKS BOB!! Bobbe- I have the order from Danny and am working hard to get the orders finished! Thanks to everyone for being so patient.

 Boyett Glass Bars stick to your hand better than any other material. I've had mine for several months now, and I haven't dropped it on my foot once yet! This really is such an innovative invention - the bar has been raised! And when some big company tries to steal the idea, we'll all know who did it first . .[This message was edited by Rick Alexander on 02 July 2005 at 02:36 PM.] |

I have found that the lead-filled glass bar gives a softer tone quality than my BJS bar.
Anyone have a similar experience? |

I acquired one at Bobbe's recently, and it's the first round bar that I think I can use. It has a slightly warmer tone than the steel ones, and it doesn't slip out of my fingers. It also seems easier to control, but I am not sure why. With my new GFI 10 string I am sure I will be able to learn faster and easier with a bar I can keep in my fingers. ------------------

Thanks Rick for the pics! The new lead pourer is working much better than the old hand-filled one! I want to thank everyone for their patience. Jeff has been swamped with orders for glass projects this summer. He is getting the bars out as fast as possible.
Bobbe has two large orders in house and we will be shipping another batch to him this week. Please don't get mad at Bobbe or Steel Guitar Nashville for the delay's, He is doing a great job and I am happy we have the relationship we do. What a great store! The response has been tremendous! We are trying to put out a quality product so I don't want to rush Jeff anymore than I have to. Remember, each bar is totally hand made so takes time. (about two to three hours each) I could't do it myself. I think each batch gets a little better. Some bars have a little ridge on the bottom just due to the finishing process. We are really trying to get that as small as possible.
I actually like mine with the little ridge because it helps to keep the bar from slipping out of my hand and has not effeted my playing at all. We stopped putting silicone in the bottom because while testing a batch I noticed the sustain was better without it. Like I said this is a design idea in motion. If anyone ever has any concerns or questions please feel free to email me anytime.
Thanks, Gary

Hey Gary,I am one of the guys patiently waiting for a bar. I emailed Bobbe and asked for a specific size and it looks like I'm waiting for the next batch (3/4" x 2 7/8"). Anyway, my question is if there is any thumb to lead contact now that there isn't silicone covering it? Thanks ------------------

A lot has been said about the bars but
Gary is a good guy to deal with. I had a
problem with my bar and Gary offered a
replacement (good business). My new bar
arrived last night. It was packaged so well
I'm sure nothing could have happened to it  It was one of the new, no silicone ones. The sound of this new bar on my lap
steel is unnn-reeaal!  The harmonic
content in the overtones is to die for.
So sweet on the ears!!! Gary, you guys have
topped yourselves with this one. I can't
wait to get home from work to play again.

Man ... you guys were not kiddin' ...My 2 3/4" x 3/4" just showed up ... and boy am I glad my wife wouldn't finance my venture into zirconia bars. Doug Smith had a zirconia bar with him a couple weeks ago ... and this "leaded glass" bar is just as smooth and tone laden as it was. Outstanding creation ... thanks a-million !!!!  ------------------
