Any Harrelson Owners Here?

I am NOT Jason, but I do own two of his fine horns and am VERY happy w/them. Anyone here have one/ have tried one? Just curious...

I own Jason's Harrelson 750. It is the best instrument I have ever owned or played.

· Built from Bach Stradivarious 37 trumpet with Monel valves, ML .459 bore, one piece 4-7/8" bell
· Polished 24K Gold Plating by Anderson Plating
· #8 Leadpipe Sleeve - improves standing wave efficiency, dynamics, slotting, etc.
· Bb to C custom conversion features excellent intonation
· 2 Top Bell to Leadpipe Braces have been custom fit to improve attacks/slotting
· Custom Bell Crook bracing
· Harrelson Heavy Bottom Caps in polished gold
· Bach top caps and buttons are finished in satin gold
· 2 Saturn Water Keys in polished silver and gold - cleaner and easier to use over standard or amado
· Overall Finished Weight - 2 lbs 14 oz
· Length - 21.0"

Hello,

I have a 907L in scratched raw.
Heavy top and bottom caps.
Base horn is a Kanstul.

Like the Saturn water keys. Not a fan of Amado (aka stick-o).

Mikester: In addition to an elaborate very heavy Ambassador, I have your same 907 horn and love it. What mouthpiece are you using on it? I find that mine really sings with a JK 9B...

Bandman: That is a great looking horn.....ENJOY IT!!!

My 907 is the Lead model. 907L bracing is different from the 907 in that there are fewer and I imagine different locations.

I have used it on a couple quintet gigs and small concert band. Sound is great. Have not used it on a big band gig, yet. Looking forward to hearing this fuller spectrum of sound in the section.

Interesting phenomena in quintet occurred. Doniminant harmonic seemed in-tune with the other trumpeter. But, as I went lower and he went higher (above my part), I heard other higher harmonics "rubbing". This horn is definately requiring and allowing me to listen more for intonation. Good ear training!

Very interesting - my 907 seems to be neither the 907 nor the 907L. Mine looks just like the 907L, but has the straight bracings of the "other" 907, except one less post.....anyway, I love it whatever it is!

Uploaded some pictures with the heavy caps on. Also, have standard weight caps.
Original parts are #37 bell with 25 leadpipe.
