Hi Oakland
I've used the Rockslide for a long time. I really like the crescent cut. Its a comfortable slide with good weight. The sizes seem to fit really well too. I recently got one of their gold plated bras models and I like that one very much also- the brass ones tend to dull down after a while, and drag on the strings if you dont keep them polished.
Luther from Big Heart Slide Company is a terrific person and a really talented musician also. He makes some wonderful ceramic slides. His Robert Johnson slide is a new model, very heavy solid brass, and he has one other even heavier, that he calles the Bronze Bomber. Unfortunately, that one was just a tad too tight for my pinky.
Don' t forget to check out the blown glass slides from Diamond slides in the UK. Ian is working on some new designs that are sure to be a big hit.
