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.

I really like this slide. I’m still learning to play with a slide so I’m not an expert. I like the presence or depth that I get with a brass slide on my resonator. I bought this one because the taper helps make contact with more strings due to the fretboard radius. I think it does help with that. I wear the slide on my pinky and sometimes ring finger, this one size large works on both for me. To the first knuckle on my ring finger and the whole finger on my pinky. I wear a size 10 or 10.5 ring. I have other straight glass and brass slides, I think I’m really going to enjoy playing with this one because of the thickness and the taper.

It fits my little finger but not my ring finger. The slight curvature helps with the Les Paul setup and the tone is sharper than the glass slide I have been using. It also has a nice heft to it.

I love this slide. It feels and sounds great. A bit large for my pinky but this is a common issue I have when buying slides. Easy fix is to adhere a small (pea sized) blob of two part epoxy on the inside of the slide right under where the pad of your fingertips rests. Gives you something to grab on too. Only grip is it is quite heavy, but is not too bad once you play fir a bit and adapt your technique. Well Dun-lop! *see what I did there? Hah! Rock and roll!!!

Dunlop 232 Harris Slide LargeGuitar slides are metal tubes that slide across the strings, producing notes without depressing strings against the metal frets. Slides produce a clear ringing tone that is distinctive, and allow you to play notes between frets and glide smoothly from one pitch to another (glissando). Most guitar slides are flat, but if your guitar neck, frets, and/or bridge are radiused (curved), you will find that curved slides will help you hit all strings without buzzing or clanking down on the frets. If you want to slide and play multiple strings or chords, you probably need one of these slides. The weight of the brass helps provide sure slide action and a positive ringing tone.I compared three curved slides, the Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large, the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide, Heavy Wall Thickness Medium, and the Dunlop 285 Preachin Pipe Large. I used Fender Telecasters American and MIM, a Martin 00-15M acoustic, and a 1970 Lotus F215 acoustic, strung with Dunlop extra-light strings, for comparisons,DESCRIPTION: The Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large is made of heavy polished brass that is flared only on one end. The 232 fits all of my ring and little fingers, and fits down to the knuckle on my first and middle fingers. It also comes in a medium size. The 232 is 64 mm long and 3.2 oz.COMPARISON: The Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large is much like the 227 flared on one end only. It was shorter than the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide Medium and longer than the Dunlop 285 Preachin Pipe Large. It felt more comfortable on my fingers than the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide Medium, but not as comfortable as the Dunlop 285 Preachin Pipe Large.SOUND: The heavy brass of the Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large gave a good ringing tone, better than many of the thinner, lighter straight slides I have used. It provided a chiming note with good sustain. Because the Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large was longer and flared on only one end, it sometimes produced string buzzing and sometimes missed contacting strings in a chord. The longer you practice with this slide, the more accurate it will be.OVERALL: The Dunlop 232 Harris Slide Large has a good tone. Its flare may fit your fingers better than the Dunlop 227 Concave Brass Slide Medium. Nevertheless, you will have to learn to move the slide around to hit all the strings accurately. If you do a lot of single string or solo work, this slide may work best for you. You will like the tone it brings to your music.HELPFUL HINTS: If you are undecided, take a look at the nut, the frets, and the bridge on your guitar to see if they are radiused (curved). Look at your fingers and decide if you play light or heavy on the strings. Then try one of these slides and rely on your ear. It will tell you what sound you want.Enjoy playing.

I really enjoyed the twang that comes with this slide. I typically only play with glass slides, so this was my first brass slide. It's the perfect weight for moving around the neck. The sustain is alright (not too great, but still a solid tone).*** THESE SIZES ARE SMALL ***I have average sized hands, but I decided to pick the large size to make sure it fit. It didnt. If you're buying this, think about what size you are and go TWO sizes up

As a long time guitar player, I've played around with slides a number of times. But nothing ever stuck. Tried both glass and metal, and ended up using the chrome slide because the glass one broke. I play in standard tuning, which affects how I use the slide, but I only ended up with a handful of songs I use slide on.This slide has changed that. The greater weight at the tip and the brass give this a silky smooth feel and sound. It requires less muscle strength allowing a nicer glide and resonance. Since I'm typically using only 1-3 strings with the slide (typically droning 1 or 2 others) I find the Harris much better suited to my style of play. It just seems much easier to target a few strings as compared to a standard slide. However, the few times I've messed with an open tuning, this bridged all 6 strings nicely too.The fit and finish are excellent. You wouldn't think the extra weight and the beveled top edge would make such a difference, but they definitely do. It's an absolute pleasure to play.

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.
