DunlopHarris Brass Guitar Slide Large
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A large brass slide for guitar. For players who want a warmer, heavier slide voice than glass gives, on standard or open tunings.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Blues and rock players wanting a thick, sustaining slide tone
- Guitarists with larger fingers or who wear the slide loosely
- Electric players who want the slide to drive the pickups hard
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting the glassy, clean top end of a glass slide
- Small fingers — a large slide will spin and clatter
- Low-action guitars that will buzz under a heavy slide
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Large size
Longer and wider bore. Covers all six strings easily but needs a bigger finger or tape to stay put.
Detail 03
Weight
Metal mass presses strings down with less effort, so light pressure gets a clean note instead of a rattle.
Detail 04
Metal on strings
Brass wears against wound strings and will mark a fretboard if you press through. Strings dull faster than with glass.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Raise your action or expect fret buzz under the slide
- 02Measure your finger — large runs loose on average hands
- 03Heavier gauge strings hold up better under a metal slide
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which finger does a slide go on?
Most players use the ring or pinky finger, leaving the remaining fingers free to fret behind the slide and mute strings.
02Brass or glass slide?
Brass is warmer and louder in the mids with more sustain and more string noise. Glass is cleaner and brighter with a smoother surface.
03Do I need a special guitar for slide?
No, but higher action helps. On a low-action setup the slide will hit the frets and buzz unless you play very lightly.
04How do I know if large is my size?
It should slip on with slight resistance and not fall off when your hand points down. If it spins freely, size down.
