You'll be inspired to make music every day!How is improved efficiency possible?Jason Harrelson has revitalized the research and development of trumpet physics and applied his high efficiency designs to every Harrelson Trumpet. By reducing the energy loss in the standing wave, response, tone, dynamics, slotting, range and endurance are greatly improved. Standing Wave Efficiency (SWE) is the term coined by Harrelson which describes the efficiency of an instrument. The higher the SWE, the better the horn. The Bravura is designed with higher SWE than any conventional factory-built trumpet and almost every custom hand-built trumpet available today. If this seems impossible, then consider what science has done for other industries in the past 50 years. Automobiles get better fuel mileage AND have more power than ever before and computers and cell phones are smaller, faster and more powerful every month. Science does apply to every aspect of life INCLUDING trumpets and the science of trumpet playing. Play-test a Harrelson Bravura and see for yourself that efficiency will change your playing immediately.Trumpet DetailsRetail Price: $3695.00Condition: new monel valvesetOverall Weight: 2 pounds 13 ouncesLeadpipe: #2 - open, colorful (free blowing)Bell: #3 - broad dark tone (similar to Bach 72)Mouthpiece Receiver: 5/8"Trim Kit: Brushed Brass Recessed Top Caps, Inlaid Paua Finger Buttons and 3/8" Bottom Caps Water Keys: (2) Amado3rd Slide Stop: Black Nylon bandErgonomic Finger Rings: 3 IncludedVertical Valve Alignment: YesSlide Crooks: Brass Tuning Slide: Brass semi-round Finish: Brushed Raw Brass Includes: Trumpet only, no mouthpiece or caseDelivery Schedule: Will ship immediatelyShipping: This trumpet will be shipped via USPS Express Insured and double-boxed for safe handling.Options Available when ordering a Custom Bravura Trumpet (not applicable to this auction)Tuning Slides - Airflow: 1) semi-round tuning slide = medium blow/defined slots 2) round slide = open blow/room to move around on each note3) square slide = tight blow/clean solid slots Leadpipes - Tonal Color: #0 - airflow 5, open, broad, dark#1 - airflow 3, medium open, focused, versatile, medium bright#2 - airflow 4, open, bright, colorful#3 - airflow 1, tight, bright, lead/commercial#4 - airflow 4.5, very open, broad, colorful compared to #0#5 - airflow 3, medium open, bright, focused#6 - airflow 2, medium tight, bright, very focused#9 - airflow 2, medium tight, bright, brilliantBells - Projection:#1 - taper 3, diameter 4.9", projection 3, focused clear tone, brass, round crook, suitable for all genres including lead/commercial#2 - taper 3, diameter 4.9", projection 3, focused clear tone, brass, semi-round crook (slightly more resistance than #1)#3 - taper 4.5, diameter 4.9-5.0", projection 4, broad dark tone, brass, suitable for jazz combo, solo, ensemble#4 - taper 4, diameter 4.9-5.0", projection 3, dark semi-broad tone, bronze, suitable for all genres#5 - taper 4, diameter 4.9-5.0", projection 4, dark semi-broad tone, copper, suitable for all genres#6 - taper 4, diameter 4.9-5.0", projection 3, colorful semi-broad tone, brass, suitable for all genresFinger Ring Options:Ergonomic - Designed ergonomically to fit the hand comfortably, weighted base adds efficiency to 1 & 3 valve combinationsCylindrical - Cylinder ring style available in brass or stainless steel Harrelson Trumpets is a leading manufacturer of world class trumpets and accessories.
