Polished Copper Pipe Stubby Slide: 1 1/2" Great for Cigar Box Guitar!

Description: This is a "stubby" polished copper guitar slide, perfect for grinding out some gritty old blues on your slide guitar, cigar box guitar, lap steel or whatever you like to play with a slide. The slide is 1 1/2 inches in length (plus or minus 1/8 inch), and the inside diameter is 13/16" (.812"), which will fit over the first knuckle on medium-sized ring fingers. If you have a very large ring finger, these might be a bit too snug and you'll need to wait for our 1" model coming soon! If you wear the slide on your little finger, you can always use the piece of included moleskin (see below) to size it to fit. We make these slides by hand out of real copper pipes - the same kind that carry water through houses! These slides have been carefully buffed and polished to a satin or semi-gloss finish (a mirror finish would just get scuffed by the strings anyway when playing), with a special metal polishing compound that leaves behind a protective film. However, with use and wear this natural copper will dull and tarnish - but it is easily buffed and polished back to a nice shine using a number of old copper-polishing folk methods. The ends of this slide have been carefully smoothed and polished as well to make sure playing with them is a comfortable experience for the user. We include a square of self-adhesive faux moleskin with each of these slides for use in sizing the inside of the slide to your finger. This along with our glass vial slide makes a nice set to give you an idea of the range of tones and sounds that are possible with different slide materials. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ... We ship packages via the U. S. Postal Service, either First Class Mail International or Priority Mail International. While these services generally get packages anywhere in the world in 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes it can take longer - this is almost always because the Customs Office in your country delays the package. In some cases it has taken up to 4 weeks for a package to be delivered. We will not consider an item as "lost" until at least 30 days have passed from the time of shipment. Also, you may be responsible for local customs duties and taxes depending on your country's laws. We mark package values honestly, as required by the laws of the United States, so please don't ask us to declare a false value, or declare a package as a gift. If you are an international buyer, please be aware of these realities BEFORE buying. Recycled Materials... We use recycled cardboard as packaging materials whenever possible. Those of you who care about the environment can appreciate the value of this, and everyone can appreciate the fact that it helps keep our prices lower since we don't have to buy new cardboard for packaging. This may mean that our packaging materials occasionally show some shipping scuffs, labels, printing or other markings, but used cardboard does the job just fine. Hopefully you will find a way to recycle it on your end too! Best Value vs. Cheapest Price... Whenever possible, we try to make sure we have the best price on eBay for the products we offer. In the rare cases when another seller beats our price by a few pennies, we stand by my claim that our offer is the best VALUE on eBay. We are always available by e-mail to answer questions as best we can for anyone who buys products from us and needs advice. We certainly cannot answer every question authoritatively, but at the very least we can recommend where to go for more information. With C. B.
