Until recently the Stevens bar was the main choice of Bluegrass players. However there is a much wider choice available today. There are excellent new designs which are easy to grip and have sharper contours to facilitate hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc. Check out ‘Scheerhorn’, ‘Tipton’ and ‘Shubb Pearse’ slides on the the web.
You will go through many bars in your search for one the suits you!
