Heavy is for experienced players. If you're new to slide, start with a lighter, thinner slide such as Dunlop 202-regular-medium-glass or Dunlop 220Medium-medium-chrome. This Dunlop 224 Heavy Thickness Medium diameter is excellent for experienced sliders. Forget the overpriced signature slides, this one is it.

The bottleneck has some mass and sounds great—comfortable fit and classic design. Great value

Tengo los dedos muy finos y me baila en exceso, pero es un muy buen slide. Abarca el dedo completo, el tono que saca es muy nítido y se ve de muy buena calidad.

This rating system, newly asks for itemised "Stars". Overall it's a 5 Star which I rarely give. Since they break it out, the OR is 5, but the Comfort, well, until they provide custom sleeves to ring-size it down (which they could) as it comes, it is the largest in all dimensions I have or have seen and *wanted for it's weight and size. So Dunlop, sizing sleeves for the larger ones would be great. I think a pressure fit, and if added a bit of rubber cement, that would be that and could be removed if cared to.The Giftable label -- well, if you care about the packaging being perfect, you can't count on that if shipped in an envelop or stored prior to shipping "loose". The thin plastic pack maybe a bit buggered on the edges. I can see though, it was not open or a return since the bar-code sticker sealed mine. Otherwise, yeah!, giftablle! (I use different slides for diff reasons on diff instruments, setups, some sound better, if bigger/smaller rather than a new setup.)As for the "Value for Money" label -- the price is correct at this level. The others at even a bit more, let alone double, really?, for what? (Then I'll got to an old piece of machinery and pull a bearing, use a sparkplug/socket, or check etc.)I was glad to see this here on Amazon, and shipped fast, safe via the best carrier -- I love when an order goes perfectly!

Calidad y mas calidad. Lo habitual en este fabricante. Solidez de latón. Bordes rematados perfectamente, agradable en el tacto y da un sonido genial. ¡Pero pesa como sus muertos!. Tiene un grueso importante, que trasmite mucha resonancia. Nada que ver con un slide de cristal, este es contundente, más brillante, es cuestión de gustos, pero si pruebas los dos (cristal y latón) y a este le das su tiempo para adaptarte, te va a encantar el resultado.

Nice slide. Has a lot of mass which in my opinion is good for acoustic guitars. I play a spider bridge dobro and a Republic Tricone Resonator and this slide works great for them. If you are playing electric guitar you may want to consider a smaller thinner slide.

One of the best slides out there, imo.While certain different qualities still cause me to want to use other material slides (ceramic, glass, steel, etc.) at certain times, this thick-walled brass slide is definitely my main go-to!There's an impressive breadth and fullness of tone with this Dunlop 224, and it's a blast for both acoustic and electric guitars.It's hefty weight can fatigue my pinky after a while, but I can't get this tone with any of my other slides!Due to the heft, it can be challenging to avoid hitting the frets, but with some practice (and perhaps higher action), it's worth the effort!I have a dozen or so slides of various materials, but I've yet to come across a better slide for robust, amazingly toned, thick and yet perfectly clear slide sound quality!

I gave it a four because, technically, it's flawless. But I probably won't wind up using because it's really to heavy to be practical. If you plan on using this with an instrument that you also fret at all, you might be disappointed. Probably really great for a lap steel though or if you like really high action and/or heavy string. Also, I don't remember if it was elaborated in the description, but it's for a 12.5 ring size, FYI.Day 2 update: I was wrong. I find I *am* using it. I'm still not sure it will usurp my glass, but it's fun switching to it for a change.

Have been trying to find a slide that was heavier than my ceramic but less harsh sounding than my steel. This is perfect on both counts, helping me play with lighter pressure but still getting good tone. Only issue is size as the one shipped is too large for my pinky finger, but I stuck some rolled up packing foam in and it fits.

I was having trouble getting a clean sound with a glass slide on my acoustic j 24 dpi. When I did, I had to press too hard and could not get any tremolo effect. With the Dunlop 224 Brass Slide, it is effortless. The weight of the brass brings out the notes, and with practice I HAVE ELIMINATED THE BUZZ! NICE CLEAN, BLUESY, ROCK'N SOUNDS. I am new to slide guitar but now that I can get a clean, tremolo sound I am on my way. You have to find a slide that you are comfortable with and what finger you get the best results from playing. I will try it on my Les Paul soon. Take care everyone……Thanks Dunlop….I love your brass slide 224.

It works at it should, and sounds fine, but it's too heavy. Not in the sense that it's too much for my frail little girlyman fingers to hold and play with for extended periods of time, but rather it is so massive that it is too easy to accidentally fret the strings. I prefer the glass slides because of this, but my 1.5 year dropped my glass one of the tile bathroom floor and shattered it, so I'll be using metal slides for the next few years at least. Perhaps I'll try a brass slide made from thinner material.

Heavy, well finished and very good value. I had looked for a while before I found this - many others were three times the price - I wanted the "Tone Dome" - but it's only available in US - v. expensive plus postage. But this is an excellent sub. Very Happy.

Fits nicely on my ring finger - I don't know my ring size but it says 12.5 on the packet and 13 in the ad. I like the weight and the sound and I don't seem to need to use a finger to damp the strings above the slide.It is actually a model 224 - would be helpful if the ad stated this, then you could look up the correct dimensions on the JD web site. These are "Heavy Wall Thickness - Medium (22 x 29 x 60mm)" not the nonsense in the ad.
