#113 - 3/4" Diameter
These are the smallest bars that we make.
The #113 tone bars sound and feel great with lap-steels and dobros.
"The #113 bar slide is an outstanding blend of glass and mass. You get all the rich harmonic content that glass has to offer. But, with the brass core, you get some really nice sustain - a sustain that's usually only available from metal slides. Great tool for tone!" -Dan Lebowitz, Guitarist of ALO

The Brass Nʼ Glass tone bar is specially handcrafted with a unique & completely nontoxic bond between the glass & brass. These slides are very durable, but, care should be taken to prevent breakage.
AVOID: excessive heating or cooling, prolonged direct sunlight, or rapid changes in temperature. Heat and quick temperature changes can create stresses within the slide. If you think it got too hot or cold, wrap it up with a towel to insulate the slide to slow the temperature change. This will help reduce stresses in the slide.
