Jim Dunlop SI Brass Slide Med/M

I have the brass version (Model 222) and the chromed steel version (Model 220). They both sound similar on my dreadnought guitar but sound very different on my parlor guitar. Brass sounds warmer, more mellow, and drags a bit more moving up and down the strings. The chromed steel version sounds a bit louder with more of a front end attack, yet is smoother sliding up and down the strings. Both equally good, just depends on the sound you're looking for. Also, for what it's worth, the brass one is a couple grams lighter. The other great thing is these are pretty cheap. So it's easy to experiment.

Great sound on brass wound strings. Had to return as ring size 9, which is too tight on the knuckle of my ring finger. Fitted my little finger well, but not the finger I use for slide. I'd bought a steel version from a different manufacturer, that was 25mm outside diameter and this was too big and lose. I think it might be better to go to a music shop for these, to get the correct size. It would help if Amazon listed the ring size to ensure a correct fit. It's a shame as its a good product.

Great product

I'm perfectly happy with this slide. Made of solid brass with a nice shiny finish, though this of course gets scuffed up the moment you start using it. I would say I have average sized fingers, and this slide fits nicely on my ring finger, resting around the second joint. It sounds great in use, and that's coming from someone who is far from proficient in slide guitar. For the money, you probably won't find better.

Quality is fine but I don’t have large hands and the medium is too tight to use for long periods.

I've always preferred brass slides and this one fits nicely on my finger, with a nice bit of weight to it. I recently lost one at a gig so immediately bought a one-for-one replacement. I've got others in the house but they're just not the same at all and tend to be too big and clearly bought for orcs or some other huge planetary species. Get one - they're great.

I can only use this slide on my 3rd or 4th fingers - it's very narrow. My fingers are pretty average - certainly not chunky. After a few minute's playing, the hands need a bit of a wash as the residue is quite noticeable. A bit like the colouration on the finger ends from many types of electric guitar strings. The sound is nice and mellow - not as sharp a glass slide would be.

I needed a smaller slide to fit on my little finger. I have a large glass slide but that was much too loose to get decent control. I was advised that a brass slide would be better than glass for the work I intended (blues slide playing on an Ozark resonator). It fits comfortably on my little finger and I now have much improved control. Good piece of kit.
