Sounds Great for Amplified Acoustic / Pleasantly Surprised
I originally bought the large which was too large for my pinky so I bought a medium. This slide is great for amplified acoustic because it's more muted such that you don't get that banging clanging slide that doesn't come thru on electric slide. Very smooth. I was pleasantly surprised.
Pretty, but . . .
I own numerous slides in various materials; this just doesn't cut it when compared to brass, nickel, or glass; minimal volume and sustain, really nothing distinctive. That said, my Taylor Koa Mini is my "bell cow" guitar, but Taylor has a novel idea here, it just doesn't work for me.
Just a poor product
I bought this purely out of curiosity since I have slides made of various other materials and all serve a purpose, so I tried this one. The problems are simple. Wood doesn't make a good slide. The pores and grain of the wood make it grind on the strings. To your hand, the slide will feel very smooth, but against the strings they will grind on every grain of that slide. On top of that, you get low volume and low sustain. These are all dooming qualities for anyone serious about slide guitar. It simply doesn't work. Don't waste your money.
Worthless
I bought one of these things and I am here to testify it is WORTHLESS. The lightweight wood does not stop the tone on the fret as a steel slide will, but rather you end up with a muddy, sloppy sound. DO NOT waste your money.
