Description

John Pearse® Thermo-Cryonic™ Tone Bars - "Long John"™

This 15/16" tone bar is the size and weight that pedal steel legend John Hughey preferred. If a standard 7/8" bar feels a bit too light in your hand, or if you find yourself pushing down too hard, then this is the bar for you.  It's also a 3/8" longer than the standard bar - great for 12 string players!

Specifications:

Diameter: 15/16"

Length: 3 1/2"

Weight: 10.1 oz/286g

"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 unbelievable sustain!"

    John Pearse long John tone bar

    Posted by Michael Obst on 18th Nov 2025

    I have tried just about every size and weight tone bar I could find but they just didn't fit my hand. The long John tone bar is just the right weight and length for me. The cryogenic technology gives you a smooth slide with minimal string noise . It works fine for lap steel and pedal steel . It's the only bar I need for playing lap or pedal steel. Worth the extra money compared to other tone bars. I would recommend it for anyone who plays the steel guitar.

    I have been going between 7/8” and 1” bars until I got this one. Size and weight are perfect
