D'Addario Chrome-Plated Brass Ukulele/Guitar Slide
D’Addario Chrome-Plated Brass Slide (PWCB Series)
More bite. More presence.
The D’Addario Chrome-Plated Brass Slide is a great option for players who want to bring slide techniques into their ukulele playing with a stronger, more defined tone.
Compared to glass, brass gives you more attack and sustain, which helps notes stand out—especially on ukulele, where lighter strings can sometimes get lost. The added weight of solid brass helps drive the strings a bit more, giving you a fuller, more pronounced sound.
The chrome-plated surface keeps things smooth, so it glides cleanly without dragging or catching on the strings.
This style works especially well for blues, Hawaiian, and roots-style playing, and pairs nicely with resonator ukuleles or baritone ukes, where that extra edge and sustain really come through. It also translates easily to guitar if you double on both.
Available in multiple sizes to match your fit and playing style.
