Hi Chris,

…just wanted to let you know that I got the slides OK and they are awesome!...

BTW…the sound, feel and craftsmanship are amazing. I never thought I would ever prefer glass over metal. Now that I have glass slides that fit, I’ll never go back…thanks Chris.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hey, I wanted to drop you all a line to say thanks for the great slides.  I have two and have been using them for a few years now.  Lots of folks ask about them... ...Anyway, take care and I attached a pretty cool photo of me using a Silica slide that I thought you might like.

Hello,
My name is Micah Kesselring. I am a 14 Year Old Prodigy of Slide Guitar, and am interested in possibly trying out some of your slides. I have been featured in the May 2008 Issue of Guitar Player Magazine, Wag's and Elliot's Q-FM-96 Show, The Columbus Dispatch, and I even won The Arizona Jeans Music Contest. You can hear my work at: www.myspace.com/MicahKesselring

I have been using a Dunlop slide, and, to be blunt, it has awful tones. I am greatly interested in trying out a Silica Sound Slide...

Thanks!
Micah Kesselring

Hey Chris, I got the slides today! They are fantastic. I love the feel of them. ...one is great for my middle finger, and one is great  for my ring finger. I love them, will definitely be using these in the future!

Your the best, and thanks a billion!

Subject: Drew Schneider sent me..

Hi Chris,
Curtis Oeser down in Texas, My bud Drew Schneider in Sahomish, Wa. sent me one of your shorty slides and I loved it, used nothing else...until today when I dropped it and it met a tragic death.
 
I'd like to buy two shorty's from you, what do I need to do?
 
Thanks,
Curtis Oeser

Subject: Feedback for www.silicasound.com 

Question/comment: Chris,
I was able in the past to get your slides thru Larry's Music, in Grants Pass and Medford Oregon. I truly think that they would like to sell your slides, and they have simply lost touch with you. I am a guitar player with a studio, and I swear by the look and sound, but more importantly the way the slide fits...and stays on. It is a wonderful design, and highly musical. I would like to custom order some more (I have two shortys, and two long ones) since I feel "Ya can't have too many slides." I have reccomended them to people starting out, as I feel they beat the bottles, and Dunlops hands down. The only other slide I will use are brass for certain "raspy" sounds that one can't get with glass. But for sweet, sustaining tones...yours are the best. Let me know if you do custom work, as I have some I would like made. (and an idea of costs for custom work)

Thanks from one happy slide user....

Hey I have a couple of your medium tapered slide my good friend Pedro Arevalo from Dickey Betts and Great Southern gave me. First I fell in complete love with them. I have used 100's of slides (seriously) and have never felt one as comfortable as yours... I have a busy schedule putting me on the road for 200+ days a year with several acts including Chef Dave Band, Greg Erwin & Friends, multiple studio sessions, Doug Belote Trio as well as sitting in with various groups which include Devon Allman's Honeytribe, Johnny Neel & Criminal Element, etc... If you could help me out it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time

Subject: Thank you Thank YOU

Hello Chris, Thank you so much for the slides. They are amazing. Killer unique design so it does not slip off the finger... It it easier to play some chordal stuff if it is shorter. They really are the most amazing slides I have used. I will tell everyone about them. Thank you soooooooo  much. Looking forward to meeting you when we play San Fran ( next year some time ).

Take care,

Christopher Thorn (Blind Melon)
