My new slide design similar to a straight razor or pocket knife. ~100 year old black locust fence post, bone tip and brass weight. Get 'em here: http://www.badfingerguitar.com/straight-relic-slides.html

Thanks Nancy and RTZ. Yes, it works well as a noter, especially the ones that end up with a narrower wood end under the bone tip. There are a couple that have a wider finger rest that give a lot of control to sliding.
The slides are listed as all the same on my website right now, but with the next batch I will try to separate them into categories like regular and wide. I will also have a separate listing for very unique slides with curly naturally shaped wood sections that have the appearance of being a little more custom. I'm no carver so they will be all natural. If you are looking for excellent carving, you know where to go for that. :)
first thing to my mind is to use it like a dulci stick. interesting
Thanks Pick, Wes, Uncle John and Ron.
Works like a dulcimer noter too.
Washes dishes, walks the dog, somethin' for the little lady, somethin' for the little lady, somethin' for the little lady, hmmmmm. Step right up.
That is some fine playing and sliding. Getting a lot of good out of the slide. I thought this type would be hard on arthritic old far fingers, but the between the fingers part is pretty thin..... Gees. I am just getting nearly up to being mediocre with a round slide. I better stick to round. Neat what you are doing.
yup. ;-)
Thanks Clock. This design is a better look and sound than my first try.
BADFINGERDELICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Greg. Sorry, forgot to add the materials to the video description. Fixed that now.
Thanks Jim. :) I'll try to get a video playing lap steel style. the extra long handle makes a light touch easier than a weighted tone bar.
