Description
We're helping a good friend of the shop downsize their collection and here's a very cool instrument from Jason Harrelson. This is a great all-arounder from him.
This has a .340 venturi and 440 choke in the bell. The original owner's name is engraved on the mouthpipe.
This horn is in excellent condition overall with very little signs of wear. I would say it's a 9.5/10 condition. We'll actually polish it up before shipping and it will look even better than what the pictures show.
Valves have perfect compression
Slides work great
Everything is almost NEW
All-in-all over $6K was invested into this system. The sales price is very fair.

The horn comes with extra mouthpiece shims, extra venturi gap adjusters, and also two Harrelson Spectratone mouthpieces.

What is B.R.A.S.S. Technology?
I began designing Bell Resonance Anti-nodal Stabilization System (B.R.A.S.S.) components in 1993, not long after I started researching brass instrument design. This was in response to an amazing discovery that is well understood in the field of physics, and based on Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion. The sound wave produced inside a brass instrument exerts energy on the confining walls, which results in degradation of tone quality, stability, and efficiency. I describe this phenomenon as Standing Wave Efficiency (SWE), which is explained in detail in my blog and here. Incorporating B.R.A.S.S. components into the design of our new line of R&D trumpets guarantees an even playing scale throughout every register with more resonance and less effort. In my 30+ years of research on the subject of motion, I have developed a set of Spinning Tops produced entirely in our shop that demonstrate Newton's laws. These are used by physics students and educators around the world.
