I have several grey slates and a few green. I want to venture off and pick up a red slate to try it out. How does it fall in with green and grey as far as pitch? Also can you get any good backend rasp from it? You folks that have been running it , give me honest feedback please. Im afraid its gonna be a much higher pitch than green and im boderline on that extremely high pitch from the green. Thanks

Red cedar red slate from DaddyRat. One of my favorite pots right now. Can get really raspy if you want to. Especially with a dymondwood or snakewood striker. I really like a hickory on it. If you want to get a high pitch out of it yellowheart.

I am not the greatest caller in the world but if you want I can pull out my green and red tomorrow and make a sound file and use a couple different strikers as well.

Jody, to me the red and green are very similar in sound with the rest being the call maker or striker

Appreciate it. I hope they are different in pitch. If its the same as green , then its no sense in jumping on that train other than to say I own a red slate. But then again I hoard calls and will end up with a half dozen of them lol.

I saw on FB where someone posted a red slate in a Gaboon Ebony pot, that black and red really "poped" Another member stated he has a b&w ebony and red slate. I don't think no 2 pots sound alike so I hope I don't influence you from getting one  :icon_thumright:

If you are a red slate over glass in a pot....and a green slate over glass in the same pot...you will have 2 distinct different tones...or sounds....its more of a difference between glass and crystal in my opinion.

I have 2 red slates and 2 green. As noted in prior posts you will have no problem with rasp based on striker selection. My hearing regarding pitch of that first note is not as definitive as it once was .my wife's is however and she reports that the red is  higher then green. I have a red sinclair in Gabboon Ebony that plays higher then Paul Hicks red slate in cedar.
