Anyone have a suggestion for a mellow playing slate with a good rollover? Too many sound like glass or Crystal.

Eddie Wynne Persimmon, this will be the first slate I like enough to put in the vest for opening day.

Matt McClain makes a good one not sure of the wait.

Daddy Rat Paul Hicks Jr. here on on OG makes a killer slate. 

Footballer Mark here on OG makes a very good mellow slate over slate.

Buster's Calls Larry here on OG as well. I am sure he could put together a nice slate for you too.

Lonnie Mabry slates are the best old timey hen sounding slate I've played. That being said I haven't played the Wynne Persimmon but have heard nothing but great things about it.

I know Jimmy Schaffer last fall reconfigured his slate pot design and did one with a wooden soundboard that is flat Miller for that similar sound you're after as well.

Sinclair slate over copper....the copper really mellows out the call...has a deep throaty sound to it.
