The John Pearse® Thermo-Cryonic™ Tone Bars

A totally new kind of tone bar. Carved from an ingot of highest quality 440 stainless steel, each bar is heat treated to 60 Rockwell hardness before being cryogenically frozen to -300 degrees to remove all construction stresses. Experience unbelieveable sustain! The John Pearse® Thermo-Cryonic™ Tone Bars have become the standard of the industry!

We've just added a new bar to our line...in response to requests for a longer bar. We are proud to introduce the John Pearse® "LONG JOHN"™ which is a 15/16" diameter bar with a length of 3-1/2 inches! Just right for instruments with more strings...and lighter than the 1" bar!

Our friend, Debashish Bhattacharya was visiting and told us he needed a new bar for his style of playing. The bar we copied was made out of rough steel and we are glad to say that he is very happy with the new Debashish Bhattacharya "HINDUSTANI SLIDE".™ It is made to play with the point of the bar rather than the standard "laying on it's side" usage of the other bars so it is 5/8:" in diameter and 2-1/2 inches long. If you are not familiar with this brilliant player, you need to check out his website and experience his music! www.debashishbhattacharya.com

Our Original 3-1/4" long bars are available in either the "BIG DADDY"™ - 1", Pedal Steel-7/8" or Hawaiian/Lap Steel-3/4".

A friend of ours at the "Grand Old Opry" started using one of our bars on his pedal steel. All the other steel players were trying to figure out what it was that he had changed in his steel to so improve the sound...and he told them! It is the John Pearse® Big Daddy™!

NEW TC BAR LEATHERS!!! We also now have available Leathers to cover the bars. People have always asked for a better way to store them, so we had our pouch maker make us exclusive little "fingers" of beautiful leather which come to fit the 3/4", 7/8" and 1" bars. For the Long John™, use the 1 inch. $10.95 each
