Title: Green slate
Post by: Bowguy on March 10, 2020, 06:55:12 PM
I've got more calls than I need. That n being sick a couple years back slowed me down call buying wise.
For pots I've bought one Lonzo green slate off the classifieds here. I believe last year it was my most successful call and I mighta used it the least.
I just got another from Mark Cornelius. Man thing is a smoker. I'm no green slate expert but it's approaching the top as a fav surface. Got one more from Dustin Jones on order.
I don't know if they're all this good but I like em.

I like my MAC green slate, very easy to play and I like the sound.

Green slate is a great surface! Ads pitch and rasp with great volume.. I like it in Claro Walnut and in Cherry

The only negative about it, seems it needs more conditioning but I def like it

Interesting. I found just the opposite for me. I rarely condition them

Same here, very easy to maintain. I think both green and red are easier to maintain than black.

Grey slate now days is very soft and seems to gum up on striker.

Glad you said that, thought it was something I was doing wrong with some of my black slate calls.

I wipe mine off after I conditioned it. That kinda defeats purpose but help it seems

The Lonzo I have is way more susceptible it it. The Mac runs longer
