Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I purchased a beautiful Nunwell Slide from Matt's site and it arrived the other day...
As much as I like it, It doesn't fit over the knuckle of my pinky... the interior diameter is 11/16" and I need something like 7/8" to fit down over the knuckle...
Anyone have one (Nunwell) that's too large and want to trade?? |

The Nunwell's are GREAT slides!!!
The problem IS that they're hard to buy w/o trying. Like Slotheads & Snowflakes, each one is Individual and DIFFERENT cuz they're handblown glass. |

Location: Carle Place, NY | I bought one of those slides from Matt at a NGW workshop this past summer. Each one is unique and slightly different in size. I found that you have to try a few before you find one with the perfect fit.
Jeff, you should contact Matt and see if he can switch it for a slightly bigger one. Also, Matt is sure to have some at the Amelia Island clinic.
For those who are unfamiliar with these slides, they're hand made, nicely designed and very heavy. At $40 they're expensive, but worth it. Each one is signed and dated. I had brought a $4 Dunlop glass slide to the workshop and Matt did an A/B comparison of the tone produced by each slide. It was night and day. Heavy glass makes for a great slide tone. And since one end is closed, it can be used as a shot glass (with some minor difficulty if you're Temp, but that's a whole 'nuther story). |

Well, I know that; was just trying to be kind...but it was FUNNY!
BTW: I have an original Corriciden Bottle (w/cap) from the 60's if anyone is interested...

By DVD: Jeff, it's very cool, and I'm interested if you decide to part with it. Based on measuring my current slide it would be a perfect fit. If I decide to part with it, You'll be the first. You might try Matt's site too, as he just received a new batch. |

I've been drinking Cuervo Gold from it tonight. It's kinda back to being a shot glass. Not because it's not a great slide, just that for the last couple of years I've been concentrating on playing lap-style. In fact I think the last time I played upright slide was at the '06 tour jam.
The nice thing about the Nunwells is you can use'em for regular slide and lap steel. |
