Call Jason now at 952-442-8789 or e-mail jason@harrelsontrumpets.com 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. The Harrelson Bravura is GUARANTEED to meet or exceed your performing needs. Harrelson Trumpets is confident that the Bravura design will meet or exceed your expectations. We offer a full money back guarantee on every Bravura trumpet. The process is simple: Call or e-mail Harrelson Trumpets with your current playing set-up including equipment and musical details and receive a free consultation with Jason Harrelson. After discussing your personal trumpet playing preferences, you will be sent a custom Bravura Demo trumpet with a variety of interchangeable parts to try in any combination. Play the demo for a week and let Jason know which combination works best for you. Place a 50% deposit to reserve your delivery date and pay the balance anytime before your custom trumpet is complete and shipped. Jason Harrelson and his team will then build your custom Bravura trumpet to your playing preferences. We guarantee that it will play consistent or better than the demo trumpet or your money will be refunded. (The money-back guarantee does not apply to custom marked or engraved orders that include personal initials or names) Built with the World's Best Valveset...
