THE ROCK SLIDE!!!!!!
The Sound
The brass slides tend to did in. They have a very full ballsy sustain. The chrome slides are slipperier and move across the strings quicker and lighter with a more opened up jangly tone. Both slides have un-parallel sustain. Why so much sustain? Because we started with a solid brass rod. The walls are thick and get thicker towards the end of the slide. We intentionally added mass to them. Like a Hawaiian slide player bar cuts through the more weight and mass the better the tone and sustain. NOT JUST A PIECE OF PIPE. Tim Langford of Two Slim and the Tail Draggers have an excellent audio demo at this site that will allow you to hear the differences in brass and chrome plated brass.
Sizing
The small slide fits comfortably on the pinky finger allowing the index, middle and ring finger freedom to play. The Medium slide fits the ring finger comfortably and can be worn on the pinky finger of players with larger fingers or if you want full six string coverage with a slide on the pinky. The large slide fits comfortably on the middle finger or ring finger of players with larger fingers. The large slide has the opposable finger rests on both sides for resting the index and ring finger (maximum stability) with a butt kickin slide!
