Musser Bar Cord - 32 Ft. Green (E4441V) - Product Information
32 feet of genuine Musser Green Bar Cord. This is used on a wide range of keyboard instruments like marimba, xylophone, and vibraphone. This is what suspends the bars allowing for maximum resonation.
First time in over 35 years that I've had to replace the cord. So happy Steve Weiss had the product in stock. Don't know what I would have done. See you in 35 more years :-)

Alright...
Comments:
First, I was a little surprised when my Musser bar cord arrived packaged in a ziplock bag. This implies that the cord is just cut off from a larger warehouse spool, which would account its fraying ends. I was disappointed at the quality of the cord. To me, it just seemed like a more expensive version of parachute cord. Because of this, I returned my Musser bar cord and bought Adams bar cord (a much better deal, coming with two cords with closed ends and four springs). The only redeeming quality about the Musser cord is its small diameter, only 1/8 of an inch, so it will fit almost every instrument. The Adams bar cord is about 15/64 of an inch (almost 1/4), so check your bar's hole diameter before buying it.

Does exactly what it should
Comments:
Definitely rings longer with fresh cord and there was more than enough to do my vintage Musser Windsor Vibes. Ignore the review about the ends being unfinished, that allows the housing to move around the core and work out kinks, plus you'll be trimming it to fit your instrument anyway. I taped (auto quality masking tape is what I had handy) a small piece of wire to the end to thread it. Pastry easy. I briefly passed a flame over the ends after I tied them off to tidy up, probably totally unnecessary as the ends are hidden inside the tension springs...
