Vanguard is the king of bond funds
I tell you what, I picked up a copy of the Wall St. Journal today, and there's a handy list of a whole lot of closed-end bond funds in there to compare against each other. I ran historical prices through finance.yahoo.com, and although I could get funds with higher yields, I couldn't find a single fund that beats Vanguard's Total Bond Fund (BND) on price stability. It's just amazing.
Check out the charts:

BlackRock's Enhanced Government Fund (EGF) also looks promising. A 7% yield vs. BND's 4.5%.
