About Silica Sound
Founded in 2003, Silica Sound handcrafts borosilicate glass guitar slides using a torch-blown process that creates high-quality, durable, great-sounding slides. Each slide is flame-worked, annealed, and individually made by skilled glassworkers in the USA.
Silica Sound focuses on two key innovations:
-
Tapered Interior Design – Their signature feature, sculpted by hand while the glass is in a molten state. This creates a comfortable, custom-feeling fit that improves control and stability.
-
Hand-Shaped Profiles & Colours – Available in a range of shapes and colours, all with a smooth, premium glass surface designed for excellent tone.
-
Brass Inside Glass
Silica Sound have a completely unique take on tone bars, and have created the first handblown glass bar with a brass core. The glass exterior produces less metallic overtones, and makes the bar a slightly lighter weight than full metal bars.
