Detail 01
Pyrex glass
Hard, smooth borosilicate. Less string scrape noise than metal and a rounder attack, and it won't dent like brass.

DunlopHeavy Pyrex Glass Slide Short / Small Single
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single short, small-diameter Pyrex glass slide with heavy walls. For slide players who want glass smoothness and enough mass to press strings cleanly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Slide lines on two or three strings while other fingers keep fretting
- Players with slimmer fingers who find standard slides loose
- Adding weight over a thin-wall slide for steadier contact
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want to cover all six strings in one pass
- Anyone rough on gear; glass breaks when dropped on a hard floor
- Larger fingers, where a small diameter will not fit past the knuckle
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
Heavy wall
Extra mass presses the strings down with less hand pressure, so notes hold longer and are less prone to buzzing.
Detail 03
Short length
Covers a few strings rather than all six. Leaves your remaining fingers free to fret behind the slide.
Detail 04
Small diameter
Fits a slimmer finger. Too big and it wobbles off pitch; too small and it won't clear your knuckle.
Detail 05
Sold single
One slide, not a pair or set. Buy a second if you want a spare in the case.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Glass breaks. A drop onto tile or concrete usually ends it mid-gig.
- 02Very low action buzzes under a slide. You may need to raise it or use heavier strings.
- 03Measure the finger you'll wear it on before ordering the small size.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Glass or metal slide, which should I get?
Glass is smoother and quieter against the strings with a rounder tone. Metal is brighter and louder with more string noise. Many players own both.
02Which finger should I wear it on?
Ring or pinky is most common, since it leaves the first three fingers free to fret. Pinky suits short slides like this best.
03Will a short slide work on a six-string chord?
No. A short slide only reaches a few strings at once. Use a full-length slide if you want to bar all six.
04Does it work on both electric and acoustic?
Yes. The action and string gauge matter more than the instrument. Higher action and heavier strings make slide playing cleaner on either.
