Jim Dunlop Chromed Steel Regular Wall Medium Slide

Well made and works for me .

This is my new favorite, it's the only one I carry now. I have used a lot of slides, my previous favorites were the Dunlop mudslide and the Rev Willy. I bought this one because I had just built a guitar with a steel neck and I didn't want to break my glass or ceramic slide if I accidentally banged it against the steel neck. I soon realized this slide is lighter and less bulky and I could move it faster and more accurately. My vibrato improved immediately and my fingers felt lighter and quicker with this slide. And this slide is by far the cheapest of the dozen or so I have around. Cheap, fast light, indestructible, this is the only slide I will probably ever use from now on. Some reviews downgraded this one because of fit. That is a problem with any and all slides. None of the manufacturers give you anything reliable to go on as far as size. All I can say is that this one in medium fits my small adult male hands perfectly. It's cheap enough that you can get another size if you guess wrong and still spend half of what you would on a ceramic slide.

The quick review. Good, I'm happy with it. It runs a little small, chrome coating on the inside is shallow and inconsistent. Dunlop has a wide range of slides in various sizes and materials, and at reasonable prices. On the Dunlop website, the individual product pages are weak on sizing details. Be sure to view their Product Manual PDF, which is really a helpful chart of their slide products and how they correspond to ring sizes. Most of the slides on the chart span two ring sizes. For example the 220 9 and 10. It's not entirely clear if the slide is a 9.5 or a 10. I ordered a half size up from what I thought I needed. The product packaging says 9 ring size, inside 19mm, and I would say that's about right. The chrome coating on the inside is shallow and consistent with rather abrupt changes in depth coverage. In some instances only 1/16 of an inch. On average about 3/16 of an inch. Some guitarists might prefer this matte finish on the inside of the slide. It feels and looks unfinished to me. I'd prefer more thorough chrome coverage on the inside as chrome is less likely to rust and easier to clean.

This was purchased as my very first slide, and I don't regret it. Affordable, sounds good, fits across all the strings of my lap steel guitar, and most shockingly... fits my finger well. I'm a woman with somewhat slim fingers, and I was concerned that the slide would be gigantic on me. It turns out it fits nicely and doesn't go wobbling all over the place. I went looking for this brand again when I got my glass slide, and was pleased yet again. The packaging from the manufacturer is very reasonable, but Amazon encased it in a comparatively HUGE box for shipping, which was my only qualm.

Love these slides! Great weight and sustain, scratchproof, shatterproof, extremely consistent quality, and never gonna shatter on your pinky and cut your other fingers. Price has gone up even faster than that postpandemic inflation that was going around — doubled in only 3 or 4 years, so I dinged it a star on value. But it's virtually indestructible, which means the purchase will last until you lose it or get it stolen. Fender's equivalent slide is so similar I can't reliably tell them apart, so price them both and go with the cheaper one. Dunlop slides are usually easier to find.

I have a collection of slides and tone bars and this one is my favorite for playing slide on my guitar , it has the right weight and feel for me, and fits my little finger perfectly.

Ring size 9 is incredibly small despite what some people have been saying. Now, I don't have exactly small fingers, but they're not that large either. The slide itself is quite nice, and works well however they don't point out in the description its size! Only people with very skinny fingers or those who only slide with their pinky would want this particular item.

My grandson liked this for his birthday before a more expensive item. Watch the size of finger for fit. Works well, sounds awesome.

Great fit and comfortable. Affordable as well.

Me enviaron por error el Dunlop 221 y, para enmendarlo, me enviaron el correcto dejándome quedarme con el de vidrio. Ambos cumplen perfectamente. El 220 me sirve olgado en el meñique y, en el anular, justo, y porque tengo dedos finos. El 221(de cristal templado), olgado en ambos. Lo mejor es calcular con un anillo. Contento con tener ambos, ya que no tenía claro cuál elegir y me decanté por el metálico por ser más resistente, aunque creo que el de cristal es más manejable (por su bajo peso) y da un sonido más limpio en guitarra acústica.

Simple plain chrome slide. Very cheap, seems very well made. Have read Reviews where others have mentioned sharp bits of metal still inside the slide. This one came and is perfect. I'd say my fingers are stumpy of average to thick, haha and this slide fits perfectly. Goes up to 2nd knuckle on middle/ring finger. Delivery was exceptional tbh. Ordered around 9.00 9.30 at night. There bef I got up next day ! 👍🏻

Muito bom! Tamanho e construção Dunlop!

Wir haben das Bottleneck von Dunlop gewählt, weil wir davon Qualtiät erwarteten. Angekommen ist das Bottleneck gut verpackt in einem gepolsterten Briefumschlag. Das Material ist gut verarbeitet und hat keine scharfen Kanten. Es ist aus verchromtem Stahl. Die Maße entsprechenden den Angaben, 12,7 x 2,5 x 10,2 cm. Damit man sich eine Vorstellung von der Öffnung machen kann, es entspricht der Ringgröße 9! Es gibt im Internet eine Tabelle wo Durchmesser und Ringgröße angegeben sind. Das Bottleneck soll nicht zu eng oder zu weit sein. Um das sliden über die Saiten zu beherrschen, bedarf es einiger Übung. Das Bottleneck ist ein gutes Zubehör. Es lässt sich gut spielen und macht viel Freude.
