I have been wanting to try a ceramic slide to see how it sounds verse the aluminum one I have been using.  We have the equipment to make them so I decided to give it a try.  This is a pic of the 1st batch, The bad news is only a few of the biggest ones fit my ring/small finger.  The bulk of the batch turned out to be ring size 6.5 or about 0.670"ID.  They range in length from 1-1/4" - 2-1/4".  If anyone here would like to give these a try (and your finger is small enough to wear it) send me a message.  You pay the postage (small flat rate box $5.75) and I will give you up to 3 slides for free.  Get-em while they last.  Please specify which slide you would like in your message.  Dan

I have small fingers, do you have any in 5/8 diameter?

These are very close to 5/8" ID.  They would probably work for you.

How much to ship to Australia?

May not be worth it (up to you).  USPS small Flat rate to Australia is $24.75

i'll  take  3  of  your  biggest  

;-)

Pick out the numbers you would like.

how  can  i  tell   which   are the biggest size  ?

i dont care  on    color  ..  just   yer    one  biggest  size in the lot  .  please  ..    (i  dont  need  3  ..    ill save       some  for  slowhound and     others  .   ;-)

 

 

You got it AP.  The longest one is #38 and it's all yours.  I will a message for shipping details.

thanx  ;-)

  by  biggest ,  i  meant     diam     to  hopefully  fit      my    pinky   or  next  finger  too  

These are all the same diameter.  I find the shorter ones a little easier to fit on my fat fingers.  What length would you like?

ill stick  with #38..  i'd  like to  try  #12  too  please  ;-)

23 added to the lot.
