117 Options on the Summit Model trumpet

Yes, it is true. The Harrelson Summit trumpet INCLUDES 117 standard options within the base price, which costs less than a Yamaha Signature model. I'll explain how and why...

Having worked closely with an diverse population of trumpet players on a daily basis for many years, I have learned that everyone has different preferences. How can I offer each individual a personal and satisfying experience unless I give them a comprehensive range of options suitable to their needs? This is why the Summit line offers a minimum of 117 various options included in the standard price. Imagine what you can build with that many options. In fact, Harrelson Trumpets offers more options than all other trumpet manufacturers combined.

I have been building the most efficient custom trumpets for individual clients since 2001. The Summit model incorporates SIX of the most important innovations in brass instrument design introduced in the past 70+ years. We are the only company in the world to offer these innovations, which are entirely CNC machined to precision tolerances. These include...

1. Variable Performance System (VPS) - complete control of flexibility, slotting and air flow
2. SWE Leadpipe System - completely CNC precision machined in short segments, the SWE leadpipe improves intonation, increases efficiency, accuracy, prevents energy loss
3. SWE Tuning Slide - acoustically ensures smoothest impedance change ratios possible, improves efficiency
4. SWE Bracing System - improves overall efficiency of the standing wave throughout the instrument
5. Ergonomic Finger Rings - canted to 40 degrees offering ergonomic grip, improves standing wave efficiency
6. 5MM Modular Mouthpiece - the only completely modular high efficiency mouthpiece system in the world
   

See for yourself why professional musicians around the world choose the Harrelson Summit to take their playing to the next level with the following options.
