Scheerhorn bar hand cramp?

[Matt]

Just picked up a Scheerhorn bar for square neck dobro playing, up to this point I've been using a bullet bar, I think some kind of dunlop.

I seem to immediately st art getting some kind of hand cramp when I try to play with it, and my hand is forced to bend back out of line with my wrist in order to bar across 6 strings. I suspect that this is some kind of user error, as this can't be generally ergonomic surely?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Can you show me some video of what you are doing?

Why are you changing to a Sheerhorn bar if you are comfortable using a Hawaiian bullet steel?
