I was one of the fortunate few to receive a bar made by Todd Clinesmith before they were made available to the public on his Facebook page. I have to say, it is incredible! I posted on the forum once before that the heaviest, densest steel bar produced the best tone. I have totally flip flopped after trying Todd's Polymer bar. It produces rich warm tone and an almost frictionless feel across the strings. Buy one and you will buy another.

I am privileged to have received one last week. Wonderful!

Just in time because my Tribotone has developed a little gutter close to the nose after many years of work. It's sad that Eric couldn't continue but Todd's bar is a great replacement.

Thanks Nathan and Guy.

Glad you are enjoying them.
Nathan the bar we sent you was a 7/8 X 3 and 5 oz. We are now making them in that size at with the optional weight of about 7 ounces.

Guy, I hope Tribo Tone comes back and Eric makes his bars again. He's a great guy who made an excellent bar.

We started making these for a few reasons. I love the feel and play ability of the weighted polymer bars. Also it was an opportunity to have my wife work with me in the shop. 80% of the work is her doing. I honed in making these bars thru the winter, and taught her the proper steps this past spring.

I have recently updated my web site . But the new clinesmithinstruments.com will not be online for a week or so. The bars will be on the new site.

Here is a thread I started in the New Product announcement page.
