## Questions & Answers

**Q: w3hat are the demensions of this product?**
A: Package for the moonshine 246 says 19mm x 6.5mm x 70mm. I read this as inner diameter x thickness x length. 19mm is 3/4", NOT 13/16"

**Q: I went to the Dunlop slide info chart on their website, and the 246 is listed as medium, not large. The 243 is small. Why is this 246 listed as large?**
A: In the ceramic Moonshine series the 243 is a ring size 8 and the 246 is a ring size 9. Both listed under medium from Jim Dunlop's website. Sweetwater has a print out for a ring  sizer. Your finger size is important and then the sound you like want.

**Q: What ring size is this slide?**
A: From the Dunlop site it gives the following dimensions -- 17 x 5 x 70mm | .69 x .20 x 2.76" | 6.5 - 7 Ring so, when it refers to "medium" on the title that is a reference to the wall thickness, not the ring size.  For example, the "large" #246 is 19 x 6.5 x 70mm | .75 x .26 x 2.76" | 7.5 - 9 Ring

**Q: I have no ring size but wear l/xl gloves....would a large be appropriate for my pinky?**
A: I also wear a L/XL glove. The inner diameter of the 246 is approximately 2.5 - 2.75 inches. My left pinky is about 2.75 inches at the base and this slide fits well. The 243 will go to the first knuckle.

*by C***3 on 25 October 2019*

M'enfin bon sang j'ai pas des doigts boudinés, quand même. Eh ben en "large" je passe à peine l'auriculaire. Quand à l'annulaire que j'utilise majoritairement pour slider, oublie, j'ai essayé et presque impossible à retirer, c'était à "un doigt" d'appeler les pompiers. Z'ont pas des gros doigts, les américains ... Ou alors c'est fabriqué en Chine ? Ben non, "made in USA". Et le son ? M'ouais. C'est pas moche, mais mes "fait maison" en goulots de bouteilles de Bordeaux sonnent aussi bien.
