Jim Dunlop Guitar Slide (34232000001)

My ring finger is size 11 and this doesn't quite get over the last knuckle.I don't always put my slide on my pinky..I ended up keeping the No. 235 Dunlop Glass Slide instead. It is smoother and fits over my ring finger knuckle.

Dunlop 232 Harris Slide LargeGuitar slides are metal tubes that slide across the strings, producing notes without depressing strings against the metal frets. Slides produce a clear ringing tone that is distinctive, and allow you to play notes between frets and glide smoothly from one pitch to another (glissando). Most guitar slides are flat, but if your guitar neck, frets, and/or bridge are radiused (curved), you will find that curved slides will help you hit all strings without buzzing or clanking down on the frets. If you want to slide and play multiple strings or chords, you probably need one of these slides. The weight of the brass helps provide sure slide action and a positive ringing tone.I compared three curved slides, the Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large, the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide, Heavy Wall Thickness Medium, and the Dunlop 285 Preachin Pipe Large. I used Fender Telecasters American and MIM, a Martin 00-15M acoustic, and a 1970 Lotus F215 acoustic, strung with Dunlop extra-light strings, for comparisons,DESCRIPTION: The Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large is made of heavy polished brass that is flared only on one end. The 232 fits all of my ring and little fingers, and fits down to the knuckle on my first and middle fingers. It also comes in a medium size. The 232 is 64 mm long and 3.2 oz.COMPARISON: The Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large is much like the 227 flared on one end only. It was shorter than the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide Medium and longer than the Dunlop 285 Preachin Pipe Large. It felt more comfortable on my fingers than the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide Medium, but not as comfortable as the Dunlop 285 Preachin Pipe Large.SOUND: The heavy brass of the Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large gave a good ringing tone, better than many of the thinner, lighter straight slides I have used. It provided a chiming note with good sustain. Because the Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large was longer and flared on only one end, it sometimes produced string buzzing and sometimes missed contacting strings in a chord. The longer you practice with this slide, the more accurate it will be.OVERALL: The Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large has a good tone. Its flare may fit your fingers better than the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide Medium. Nevertheless, you will have to learn to move the slide around to hit all the strings accurately. If you do a lot of single string or solo work, this slide may work best for you. You will like the tone it brings to your music.HELPFUL HINTS: If you are undecided, take a look at the nut, the frets, and the bridge on your guitar to see if they are radiused (curved). Look at your fingers and decide if you play light or heavy on the strings. Then try one of these slides and rely on your ear. It will tell you what sound you want.Enjoy playing.

Just too heavy for me but nice fit

Why didn’t someone think of this before? Works great for occasional use, when you don’t want to devote a guitar for a slide-only setup.

Nice!

I love this slide. It feels and sounds great. A bit large for my pinky but this is a common issue I have when buying slides. Easy fix is to adhere a small (pea sized) blob of two part epoxy on the inside of the slide right under where the pad of your fingertips rests. Gives you something to grab on too. Only grip is it is quite heavy, but is not too bad once you play fir a bit and adapt your technique. Well Dun-lop! *see what I did there? Hah! Rock and roll!!!

It fits my little finger but not my ring finger. The slight curvature helps with the Les Paul setup and the tone is sharper than the glass slide I have been using. It also has a nice heft to it.

Good heavy brass slide. I have the smaller one for pinky and the larger one for my ring finger.If you have a radiused bridge - if you converted over a standard 6 string for slide - this is the slide to get as it will help you match the radius of the strings. It does not work as well on flat dobro's and such.Really, I keep one in my bag in case I come across radiused strings. Otherwise I use a thick flat glass slide. I find the flare doesn't really add accuracy because of the weight. This is a heavy slide, especially for the pinky.

The item met with my expectations,being nice and heavy.Delivery was rapid.

Produced an excellent tone !

個人的にはPREACHIN' PIPE #284 のほうがサイズ的にも操作性としても好みでした。

ｽﾗｲﾄﾞﾊﾞｰの中では、重さが軽すぎず、重すぎずで良いと思います。弦に適度な重みで、フィットする感じです。
