Brass has been chosen by slide players for years because of its tonality and comfortable weight. Machined from solid brass for a bright tone with great sustain, the Harris slide has a unique design. Its flared sides offer better control, less damping and more comfort. Unlike other companies that offer a single slide as the cure-all, Dunlop understands that slides are every bit as varied as individual player's slide techniques. It's much more than just finger size. How you hold it, what kind of string contact you prefer, and how detailed or quiet you want the sliding action to sound ... these are just a few of your considerations when choosing your perfect slide. Dunlop's focus is to offer all sensible slide choices in attractive, carefully engineered designs.

This is the second slide I've purchased. The brass is a bit heavy, and takes some getting used to. Because of the weight, make sure your action is set high. Nice bold sound. Quality piece, though the paint does get scratched off quickly. But that has nothing to do with how it sounds, which is exactly how a brass slide is supposed to sound.

When they say small, they mean small. I had to order the large to get it comfortably on my ring finger, and my hands are not large by anyone's standards.
Find the same slide in Large, and I wrote a complimentary review there.
