Our hand-blown lead crystal tone-bars are available in a choice of the custom signature 'Swirly' patterning, or our translucent pure crystal colors.

 

These lead crystal tone-bars offer the player superb liquid tones combined with beautiful, warm sustain on all lap-slide instruments - particularly unequalled in volume & tone on wood-bodied Weissenborn-style guitars & Hindustani-slide 'Chaturangui' instruments.

 

El Minuté is the thinner of our two pure lead crystal tone-bars, available in thicknesses of 20mm (13/16") and 22mm (7/8"). We can accomodate any required bar length - just include your personal preference into the 'Specific Requirements' section of the 'Buy Now' order page.

 

Two different styles of 'nose profile' can be accomodated onto your crystal tone-bar by our craftsmen - the traditional 'bullet' nose profile; or the 'snub' nose profile prefered by many Pedal Steel players, again - just include your preference onto the 'Buy Now' order form.

 

The Fred Kinbom El Gordo bar is the thickest & heaviest of our pure lead crystal tone-bar collection. Available in two mighty thicknesses of 28mm (1.1/8") or 32mm (1.1/4"), our El Gordo bar can also be ordered to any prefered bar length as described on our El Minuté specs above, and also with the same 'nose profiles' - the 'bullet' or 'snub' nose. Again, please include your preferences onto the 'Specific Requirements' section of the 'Buy Now' order form. 

 

 

Each bar is hand-crafted here using the  heaviest, densest pure lead crystal glass we can obtain, and is suitable for both Lap-Slide & Pedal-Steel duties.

 

 

 All of our El Minuté and El Gordo tone-bars are individually packed & shipped with a monogrammed 'Mojo Bag' for constant protection. 

 

 We're honored to have Fred Kinbom, one of Europe's most revered Lap-Slide guitarists endorsing our crystal tone-bars....Thanks Fred!!!
