The first two stainless steel prototype trumpets are done and Jason is play testing them now! Join this channel to get access to perks: / @harrelsontrumpets
Amazing Jason! That’s a beautiful-looking horn. Don’t fill it in. It looks very cool like that. If you fill it, use the same material to make the colorful caps. That way, it has color. If you fill it with wood, use Ebony wood or Honduras Rosewood.
did I miss something or are the only stainless steel parts the tuning slide and bracing? How does that result in a stainless steel trumpet??? Wouldn't a stainless steel trumpet have stainless steel piping, valves, lead pipe, bell etc???
Those who have been following this project for the past year or so know that the entire trumpet will eventually become a variety of new materials. Rome wasn't built in a day ;)
@@harrelsontrumpets I do understand process and development so yes, I'd agree that Rome was not built in a day. Stainless is a strange metal, of which there are over 600 alloys. I have had a big variety of high brass instruments all different in tonality and harmonics. While in jr high, Leblanc gave me one of their "600" model gold plated trumpets. It was very heavy, and had a dark but rich tone. It was a big reach from the ML Strad I had in 9th grade. I also have a pre production King Silver Flair pre release silver bell trumpet that is quite exceptional. They only made 125 of these horns. Regardless, building a trumpet out of a stainless steel alloy will be a challenge. Deciding what kinds of alloy mix to achieve the best harmonics and tone with be an interesting and demanding process, as noted. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Great work ! I see one or two French trumpet players investing in Harrelson trumpets around me, great players… great horns ! I can’t wait to see the nylon ones :)
Thank you for talking sense. As an individual with expertise in the physics of acoustics I'm grown tired of trying to convince hobbyist and amateur players (those most keen to 'buy' talent they have not earned or been gifted with), that the materials used for an instrument, correctly fashioned 'mathematically' to a purpose to 'cause' the correct physical propagation, make little or no difference. Its the air column 'inside' the instrument that vibrates, not the horn (whose mass reflects of damps vibration). Which is why Morris Murphy playing on a Yamaha student model trumpet with the included mouthpiece sounded...EXACTLY LIKE MORRIS MURPHY! When asked, he said only that it felt...'unfamiliar', so he was conscious of working...'differently' to create...THE EXACT SAME SOUND!

I’m looking forward to being a customer. My next upgrade will definitely be with Harrelson Trumpets. Thanks much !
Interesting for technicians. Musicians just want to hear 'em, however. And if there's no particular uniqueness to the tone, interest drops.

@@3RTracing You're welcome. Stay tuned for updates on the SS trumpet progress.

this is amazing, I want one now!
Wouldn't it make it more difficult to repair by hard soldering the braces?
they are pretty much indestructible. If these parts need repair, there's likely not much left of the trumpet.
Always impressed. Beautiful trumpets.
This is what innovation looks like!
Why am I not surprised it's Jason doing metal 3d printing to make his horns. Always pushing it!
Sir how can I order this
É o sonho de um Trompetista.

that's awesome!
Am I going blind, or does your camera keep going in and out of focus. Let me guess, iPhone?
I accidentally set my 40mm macro lens to less than a meter focus depth!
