Dunlop Brass Concave Slide (227)
The Dunlop 227 Brass Concave Slide is a specialized tool designed for players who demand absolute precision and full string coverage. By featuring a unique "waisted" or concaved center, this slide is engineered to follow the 12" radius of curved guitar necks, ensuring that every string—from the low E to the high E—is contacted evenly for a massive, consistent sound.
Key Performance Features
- Full String Contact: The concaved playing surface is specifically shaped to make contact across all six strings simultaneously on 12" radius necks, eliminating "fret buzz" on the middle strings.
- Resonant Brass Tone: Crafted from heavy-duty brass, providing a dark, warm, and soulful tone with incredible sustain that is favored by blues and rock players.
- Heavy Wall Thickness: Designed with extra mass and weight, allowing the slide to do the work for you by providing effortless pressure and a "fat" sonic presence.
- Handmade Character: Each slide is individually handmade, ensuring a high-polish finish and a unique feel that only artisan-crafted metal can provide.
- Secure Medium Fit: Sized with a 19mm inner diameter (approx. ring size 9-10), offering a snug and controlled fit for maximum maneuverability during complex solos.
