Tilden sier om Sir Ramic slides:
"For years, before commercially produced slides were available (the Dark Ages),
I searched everywhere for something that would make the perfect slide. No piece
of pipe avoided my scrutiny. No bottle went unbroken.
Eventually I found the bar in my locker at high school was exactly the diameter
I was looking for. This kept me for many years but I learned that glass makes a
different sound and was more appropriate for certain guitars.
Companies, by this time, were mass producing glass slides and also were starting
to make ceramic ones. This was a wonderful discovery; that ceramic was somewhere
between glass and metal for sound. There are a number a companies making ceramic
slides now but what they have lost in the mass production, is the feeling of
discovering a personal slide for oneself. Ceramic artists for years have been
using this medium for self expression and utilitarian needs. Thus was born
"Sir Ramic Slides". All slides are approximately 1/4" thick and between 2 1/2"
and 3" long; long enough to cover all the strings on most guitar necks.
Every slide is a different and beautiful work of art. "
