Slide Trade?

[OnTheLedge]

I think anyone who has tried to play slide has bought ones that don't work for us depending on size, material, etc. I have a few that I would like to trade for others. There is nothing wrong with them. I am a pinky slide player, so these are too big for me. Per the rules, they are valued at $15-22 each, but I am more concerned about getting slides I can use rather than equal value.

I would like pinky slides that are similar in dimensions to this:
17mm (5/8") Inner Diameter.
50mm (2") long

I am offering these:

I really like the brass Rock Slide. Anyone have a small? This one is a Medium. Dimensions as follows:
19.5mm Inner Diameter
57.5mm long
70g weight
USA Ring size 8-10

Brown Willy's Slide with bag
7/8" (19mm) Inner Diameter on one end
14/16" (21mm) Inner Diameter on the other end
2 1/8" long

Green Unknown slide. Ends not polished but no sharp edges
11/16" (24mm) Inner Diameter on one end
7/8" (22mm) Inner Diameter on the other end

I'm looking for pinky slides. Whatcha got?

FYI, I have had excellent results using blue painter's masking tape to get smaller feeling slides. I just build up three or five layers, cut it with a razor blade into short lengths and build up a shelf inside the bottom of the slide. It has good traction, too.

Slides are so different and we all like different feels. My fave after MANY different ones is the Eric Sardinas by Dunlop. It is light for brass and has a nice radius to fit most fretboards. The medium size fits my pinky great.

BTW, never put a glass slide in your harmonica case. I had to disassemble and clean all my harps about 20 years ago when one got broken! I was bummed.

Good luck on your quest!
