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. Available in three sizes for personal preference.

After experiencing some frustration with the tone differences and the difference in the amount of noise between a Stevens steel bar (for lap playing) and a Dunlop 210 glass over-the-finger slide (for "Spanish style" playing), I decided to try the Dunlop Harris tapered brass slide. It's probably a personal issue, but I much prefer the weight of the brass slide. The taper seems to cover the stings of my resonator guitar more consistently than the straight glass slide. The sustain is better and the string noise is easier to control. This slide also seems to be well made and has a nice shine to it. The material and the fact that it fits better than the glass slide are significant pluses. Another practical plus for the brass slide is that I don't have to worry about what would happen if I drop it. In short: it's a winner.

I wear this on my pinky, where it's a little loose but functional. (Your results may vary.) It sounds great, is comfortable, and the curved surface makes full chords or licks that go across several strings easier to play, at least for me. Do it. Dooo it.
