Re: Finance "The Ebony"

Is it a joke or a "fun" instrument like that Taylor "Beatles / Heart" trumpet?

Re: Finance "The Ebony"

Definitely not a joke--check out the prices...and the reviews...of his horns. Jason has his followers. Do a search on "Harrelson" here and on TH and you'll find lots of info. He also posts occasionally.

Re: Finance "The Ebony"

There is no reason why we can't make a visual statement with our horns. Whether or not the horn gets better or not is in the ear and chops of the beholder.
It would be pretty tough to quantify the "improvement" - but who cares? The rule is play before you pay - and if it works, it is good!
There are some real works of art on Jasons internet gallery!

Re: Finance "The Ebony"

Personally, I think it is as ugly as sin. I would hope it plays better than it looks.

Re: Finance "The Ebony"

I've heard Jason play around on it at ITG, and its a player. Besides, as woodworking is my other hobby...I can appreciate the craftsmanship of getting birds-eye maple to "fit" around a valve body, and other trumpet parts. EXCELLENT work in both crafts. A true craftsman.

It is a strikingly unusual trumpet visually, but...its still a Harrelson underneath the wood grains.
