I use the same kind of bar on my dobro, but I’m beginning to think it’s too heavy. Everything seems sharp except the open strings.

[Greg Vincent]

Miles, maybe try heavier-gauge strings?

More information needed:

Which tuning are you using, and what are your string gauges?

[David Weisenthal]

Thanks Greg, I haven't seen that bar. I have to check it out...

[Greg Vincent]

Can’t remember where I found it, David.
I think I got it at McCabe’s in Los Angeles.

Is this the one?

The first pic doesn’t look like it, but the second one sure does! (Although mine lacks the engraving along the top.)
