They are heavier, more direct, and tend to give you a stronger attack with more sustain. That makes this a great choice if you want your slide playing to sound full, bold and present, whether you are using an electric guitar, acoustic guitar or resonator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the medium version, with a medium wall thickness and medium diameter, so it sits in a useful middle ground. It has enough mass to give you a strong tone, but it is not as bulky as a larger heavy-wall slide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat Does It Actually Sound Like?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Dunlop 222 has that classic brass slide sound — warm, resonant and slightly gritty, with plenty of sustain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompared with a glass slide, it sounds firmer and more immediate. Glass tends to be smoother and softer around the edges, while brass gives you more bite and projection. Compared with steel, brass usually feels a little warmer and less sharp, so it works well if you want attack without the sound becoming too harsh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is especially good for blues, rock, roots, country, slide guitar and open-tuning playing.
