Solid glass, hand formed and crafted in the USA, each Slipperyslide is a unique work of functional art. No two exactly alike in color or design.
They feature the ability to make any steel guitar sound amazingly like a sitar, using the ground edge – “The Sitarsound Experience”. Naturally, they can also produce a sweet, traditional sound, simply by rotating the bar. Wow!
Standard size is approximately 3 1/4″ long by 15/16″ in diameter. These slides fit the hand beautifully, and will be the pride and joy of your bar collection.
Only $85.00 U.S. each
Includes domestic shipping.
Hey Loni,
Yes I did receive the slides, they are a lot of fun. I used one of them this week on a recording I’m producing, it’s a kind of African blues tune and we needed a evil spooky kind of sound. I’d tried playing dobra on it using my usual steel bar but it sounded too full and rounded if you know what I mean, so applied the sitarsound edge and got just exactly what I wanted. …the glass definitely gives a warmer round sound ( when you use the round bit! ) than a steel slide, it’s the one thing I miss from my bottleneck days was the comparative warmth of the glass slide.
Regards,
Lennie
Loni,
I got the tone bar last night. It blew even my highest expectations out of the water. It sounded great, looks cool as hell, and handled beautifully. I have been looking for a solid glass tone bar for years and nobody – I mean nobody – makes one.
Best of luck with your business,
Mike
