Very good sounding slide, nice looking and nice polished peace of metal. Not heavy, but not as light as very cheap "noname" slides. There is just one problem, I really don't know, may be it's not a problem exactly with Dunlop 220, may be all slides made of metal have this problem: after couple months of usage this slide it started covering rust inside. Outside is ok so far, but inside I see and feel rust. But, for this money, I think it's good slide. For beginners?
