Mojo Bone Works slide

Posted by Dan Sleep on February 18, 2012 at 8:46am in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

I got a slide from Randy at Mojo Bone Works the other day. Randy makes beautiful slides from bone and a variety of other materials, mostly exotic hardwoods. These slides are absolutely gorgeous!

Pictures don’t do it justice. The model I got is a half & half, with bone on one side and cocobolo hardwood on the other.

I can’t play slide to save my life, but I gave it a few licks anyway. The bone produces a mellower tone than the metal or glass slides do. It also has a less “slippery” feel to it, meaning it doesn’t skitter all over the strings like the metal and glass models do. I think it gave me a better feel of the strings.

Check them out at CB Gittys!

       I've got two of his slides: a long one and a stubby. I prefer brass, but these have truly unique characteristics that make them worth having around.
