This is the slimmer of the two, tapered from 24mm to 20mm, and such a good fit I cannot shake it off. Almost icy tone- needs a little softening perhaps, but still lovely!

Dave makes and sells some beauties and so does your UK guy. 

I am set on slides for right now.  I also use a socket and a bone and brass from CBN member Randy (brain lock- can not think of Randy's last name right now.)   That big slide from Dave has a closed end and makes a dandy shot glass.

Hi Uncle- both were made by a potter here in the UK, goes by the eBay name of Ark48. A lot of his stuff has blues-type quotes on (I could be wrong, but I believe he actually has one with 'Woke up this morning'), but there's usually some cloudiness happening, and he does use gold leaf. I don't know if he'd ship, but if you don't ask you don't get.

Strangely, the only pics of Dave's I could find were ones a grateful customer had posted on CBN!

Nice to see Uncle. I'm off to the studio to try some more. This inspires me. Now how did I do that...

3 of Dave's and my fave Dunlop tapered brass.  Different slides for different songs.

Wow, an icy beauty.  Do you see the golden eagle?  Who made this?   Did you find any of Dave Lynas's slides?  It ain't easy, he puts up a lot of pics.
