Genius design, weak slide

When talking about the design of this slide, I can find no other that tops it. It's easy to flip around, it's very convenient and it looks good. But sound-wise, it's terrible. It's such a thin slide, it barely has any sustain. It sounds very tinny and it scratches the strings producing an unwanted scratchy sound. I wouldn't suggest it for the audiophiles out there, but if you really need something that's easy to switch from normal fingering to slide, I'd suggest this over the Jetslide.

Extremely Nice Slide

I was quite surprised by this slide - I bought it to replace my 4th broken glass slide. I play on electric and an old acoustic, and the Hoolahan sounds great on both - just a speck tinny on the electric, but I'm getting heavier strings soon, and anyway, any good amp smooths that out. Plays surprisingly well on nylon acoustic strings, bright tone. It's pretty quick to learn to spin the slide to fretting position too. Nice design there, comfortable on any finger (I play ring or middle, depending)

great slide

I just got this slide today and I think its amazing. I went with the medium because I wear it on my ring finger. It fits my finger snug in both positions but still allows for quick fingerpicking for solos or anything really. It sounds good, looks good, and plays easy. Its a great slide if you want to switch between slide and solos.

Dunlop Hoolahan Slide

The Hoolahan slide is a great design, well made, and even though I normally love everything that Dunlop makes (especially their picks), I was dissappointed with this slide. The sound is thin and has no sustain. If this slide were made of .063" or thicker steel or brass, this would be the only slide I'd use.

GAH!!! Sizes Please?

I bought the small. The small is 17 mm for the inside diameter. Pretty tight... I think you should stick with the medium. The only problem I have had is the bottom ocassionally getting stuck in the slide position -- 55 mm length for small. and in the playable position, the finger is only capable of soloing, chords difficult.
