JSA Cu71 Copper Aluminum, Ultra Small Finger Guitar Slide (US Ring Size 5)

Description

This lightweight, 60mm (2.36in.) guitar slide features a copper shell over aluminum sleeve, with an additional polymer lining to reduce the inside diameter to a US Ring Size 5. The copper shell offers a look and sound comparable to brass, while the aluminum and polymer sleeves add mass, dampen harsh overtones and add comfort.
*IMPORTANT*
This slide is sized for small, thin fingers that conventional sized slides will not fit. I have made several custom slides in this size for musicians who can not find slides with a small enough inside diameter to fit snug on their finger. This US Ring Size 5 slide can solve this problem and is perfect for you if you are in a similar situation.
The Cu71 is a generous mix of comfort, sustain, and maneuverability; its copper finish will form a rich patina as it is polished by steel strings and then tarnished over time. Whether it slides down the fretboard of an electric or acoustic guitar, steel or nylon strings, the Cu71 will offer years of versatile sounds ranging from gritty, delta blues to warm country tones and subtle twang.
Your slide will ship out shiny and polished, but over time the finish will darken and develop an appearance somewhere between pictures one and two and picture three. The copper shell is meant to tarnish and will remain in a consistent state of change throughout its lifetime. As you play, small markings will develop along the surface of the slide, which will in turn tarnish and add depth to the emerging patina.
You will find that the more you play, the more dramatically the slide's surface will be affected—the appearance of its finish will be directly related to your own playing style and therefore unique to you.
