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.

Fundamental Components
  • Leadpipe - 10 different leadpipe tapers
  • Adjustable Gap Receiver (AGR) - 5 Receiver variations with 425 Insert options
  • Venturi - adjustable range .330" to .354" in .001 increments
  • Impedance - adjustable to any gap length
  • Air Flow - precisely regulated by interchangeable AGR Inserts

Projection & Stability

  • Bell - full range of 14 tapers and diameters
  • SWE Bell Crook Brace - not included on all models, designed to match SWE tuning slide "R"
  • SWE Trim Kit - 5 finger button, 2 top cap and 15 bottom cap variations
  • AGR Variations - the heart of the VPS System offers 3 levels of efficiency and infinite player settings

Ergonomics & Aesthetics

  • Finger Rings - Ergonomic in 5 sizes with 4 pinky variations
  • Water Keys - 3 variations with the new Harrelson water key coming soon
  • Tuning Slides - 3 high efficiency variations
  • AGR Variations - custom logo, text or your signature included on all models
  • Inlays - over 50 finger button inlay options included with over 100 more as upgrade options
  • Surface Finish - brushed brass standard with 16 plating/lacquer upgrade options available

5MM Modular Mouthpiece

  • Rim - available in every size
  • Cup - 19 depths in every shape
  • Throat - sizes range from .125" to .269"
  • Backbore - available in every size
  • Body - 6 variations with custom options available
  • Nut -available in every size

Levels of Efficiency
  • Summit - high efficiency design which includes Standard, Jazz, Lead and Midnight models
  • Summit One - higher efficiency than the Summit at a reduced overall weight - limited to 10 in 2015
  • Summit Vines - limited to 5 in 2015 - the latest Harrelson Art trumpet
  • Summit Two - limited edition - new aesthetic design, coming in 2015

Creating innovative solutions has been my philosophy since the beginning of Harrelson Trumpets. The variety of options available to my clients today is substantially more comprehensive than what I offered ten or more years ago.
