Eddie makes a great slate no doubt about it! Footballer Mark makes a KILLER persimmon slate over glass. He ran the Wynne side by side for me last year.......could not tell a difference.

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.
