The Rock Slide Polished Brass Slide - Medium

I was pretty confident this slide would do the trick. I bought it to use on a tri-cone resonator I had purchased and chalk one up for me for trusting my instincts. I have been trying to learn standarded tuning slide and the last distraction I wanted was a buzzy string or a bumpy ride along the fretboard. How amazingly well this brass slide articulates. The weight and fit ( on my baby finger) actually had my wife surprised by how well it sounded. I excited now to devote some time adjusting to the standard tuning instead of trying to find the perfect pressure on the strings. No wonder these are classic

I have switched to using my ring finger over my pinky. And, I'm partial to metal slides, specifically brass, btw. But the asymmetric cut on the one end makes it more comfortable and flexible. In addition, It's easier to put my other two fingers behind the slide, muting that side for an even cleaner sound. The weight is just perfect for me.

I primarily use it on a vintage acoustic Dobro. Its a little short for my baritone National Resophonic guitar but the heavier tip really brings out the tone. I was looking for a little heavier slide and this exactly suits my purpose.

Best feel for a slide that I've ever used. The top heavy aspect is what does it for me.
