It seems that every manufacturer has a different philosophy regarding bar dimensions. Some claim (as if it was a universally good thing) that their wider bars are louder than others. Others suggest that longer bars equal greater fundamental. In the end, it all sounds like ad copy rather than useful information.
Anyone have information regarding the practical effects (sound production, quality, durability, responsiveness, etc.) of bar dimensions? I've seen a few papers on the web on the acoustics of bar percussion but they're a little light on practical information.
Thanks all,
Patrick
