In my 38+ years of playing guitar this slide is my favorite of 5 that I own. I play live a lot using electric guitars normally tuned. The thick wall of this slide provides a good sustained slide tone while in action while keeping the guitar pickup levels low. That is great for stage volume levels, less feedback. This slide is large enough for my middle finger providing extra room for my finger to bend at the knuckle a little giving me better control. It also is heavy enough that it won't begin to ride up my finger. That is important for songs that require both slide and regular guitar playing. I can keep this slide on while playing other guitar bar chords between the need for slide parts, e.g. Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh. In that song I need to play Regular Electric, Slide, and Voice Box guitar solo parts layered together too close to put a slide down and pick it up again. I can solo a bit using my index, ring, and pinky fingers with the slide still on. Oh yeah it fits inside an old Rx pill bottle perfectly. I wipe it off inside and out with some guitar oil and then put it in the bottle between gigs with a small packet of desiccant inside to keep it nice and corrosion free. I've had other brass slides I did not clean or protect and they slowly turn green when it has not been used for a while. Its no big deal you just clean it with brass polish and they're ready to go again. The slide is durable as well, if you drop it it won't break like some glass slides I've used. I hope this information is useful for you.Read full review

Size and weight are just right. Nice thick walled solid brass slide. Sounds fantastic on my Martin OO.

wish they made the same slide (material and wall thickness) in different ring sizes. had to use some weatherstripping to get a good snug fit.

I gave away my solid brass slide to a customer who loved it. It was made for me by a local plumber. Never thought I would get another similar slide. I bought this and was surprised that it was exactly what I gave away, a real heavy gauge solid brass slide perfectly sized for my ring finger. For those who don't know, the heavier gauge brass improves tone and sustain when playing slide on a conventional guita, and it really shines on a resonator guitar (Dobro and National) when playing acoustic slide. If you play slide you MUST buy this product...period !
