It's been a long journey, and we appreciate your patience along the way. What began in December is now nearly complete, thanks to your support. Our original goal was to deliver all SpectraTone Red mouthpieces by the first week in April. We've now delivered 96% of all orders from backers who completed their surveys. Eight people have not returned a survey, which means we will choose your body variation and set it aside for you, but we cannot ship without your address and rim selection.

That leaves another few backers waiting on rim sizes that are currently at plating. To our surprise, we had an unusually high number of orders for 660 and 614 diameter rims, which had been made in December, but not all were plated. Those should be back in our shop in approximately 10 days or less. If you are waiting on an order for a 614H rim and would like to switch to a different 614 variation to get quicker shipping, please contact us at 303.657.2747.

I have two Titanium mouthpiece bodies remaining, which I will offer to our backers in the form of a complete SpectraTone Red, Yellow, or Blue mouthpiece for $350. If you want one in Stainless Steel, the price is $325. Email me by Wednesday (or order with link below) before they are gone forever. Oh yeah, did I mention all SS and Ti body styles will be retired once inventory is sold out. This is due to the complex production process that is too costly in smaller batches. I made approximately 15% more bodies in SS and Ti than were originally ordered through Backerkit. You can see remaining inventory here.

And finally, I want to announce the debut of standalone LSLT (Laser Sintered Lattice Topology) Mouthpiece Bodies in ALUMINUM. I will be offering these to all SpectraTone/5MM mouthpiece owners for HALF PRICE next week. Again, once these are sold out, they will not be offered again. Your next opportunity for a LSLT solution will come with SpectraTone Green in Autumn. 

Thanks again for your amazing support, feedback, and musicianship!
Jason, Jen, Christine

Jen has been working hard to enter every single order into our system for the past two weeks.
The process has been slower than expected as approximately 35% of our backers have requested some kind of change to their order after we closed the surveys, which has delayed all shipments. For this reason, we will no longer consider any future requests for order changes or additions. We really want to ship your mouthpieces!

Here's what you can expect for the remaining SpectraTone Red shipping schedule.

March 12th - remaining Brass variations with no upgrades
March 26th - all SS variations with no upgrades
April 2nd - all Ti variations with no upgrades
April 9th - all orders with upgrades

We will be offering one final option to purchase a new SpectraTone Red and related accessories at a very nice discount. We're doing this to give your friends, colleagues, and students a chance to get in on the fun.

Be sure to get on our mailing list at Harrelson for the one-day public release on April 1st!

Jen and I just finished the last Stainless Steel SpectraTone Red mouthpiece. All brass orders were shipped earlier in the month with the exception of those containing special add-on options. I'm currently finishing Aluminum orders this afternoon, and we will finish all resin models and Titanium variations next week. 

We sent tracking information to each client at the time of shipping. If you have not received tracking, your order is likely awaiting a custom add-on option to be made and included with your shipment.

We are waiting on surveys from ten backers. Please keep in mind that we cannot ship your reward until we know which Rim you need. It is highly recommended that you complete your survey today to prevent forgetting. We just had a client from our SpectraTone Yellow campaign email us asking for the survey, which was from two years ago! Don't be the person who puts it off for years.

And finally, we are opening up SpectraTone Red orders to the public with Stainless Steel becoming available for one hour only, next Monday night from 7 to 8pm MDT. If you know someone who could benefit from SpectraTone, please send them our way or to www.whyharrelson.com.

We'll be in touch next week once we have a firm timeline on remaining Titanium and add-on shipments.

Thank you,
Jason, Jen, Christine

Jen and I have begun shipping SpectraTone Red mouthpieces beginning with brass body variations, as those are finished.

However, we have noticed a large percentage of rim diameter errors with many people telling us they play small mouthpieces while ordering very large sizes. To be clear, you can save yourself a lot of time and energy by reading the mouthpiece comparison chart, and choosing the best size. If you are currently playing a small mouthpiece with success, then we recommend staying on a small size.

Remember, at Harrelson, we measure the actual Rim diameter where it meets the cup, as this is the actual diameter. Most other manufacturers measure the high point of the rim, which results in an inaccurate and inflated number not representative of the actual size due to inner radius variations. This means that any manufacturer using a high point value for a specific size is likely overstating the diameter by 40-50 thousandths of an inch.

For example: our 680 rim is larger in diameter than any rim we have ever measured, so it is unlikely you need to order something larger than 640 unless you play on very large rims.

Another example: our 614 rim is the exact diameter of pretty much all common 3 diameter rims from Bach and related copies.

One more note: Almost all Jet Tone and lead-type mouthpieces measure .590 and smaller. It is highly unusual to find a mouthpiece measuring larger than .590 that is shallow and used for lead work. A .590 is the equivalent of a Bach 7.

Thanks for listening, and hopefully learning! We really want to ship you the correct rim size, but it is up to you to read the mouthpiece chart at https://www.whyharrelson.com/rim-sizes.html to do this correctly. We cannot exchange rims once they have shipped.

Thank you again,
Jason and Jen

We will be closing orders for the first round of SpectraTone Red shipments TODAY. 
Please complete your Backerkit survey by 3pm to get your mouthpiece as quickly as possible. 

Thank you, 
Jason, Jen, Christine

Today at 12:30pm Mountain time, I will host a live Zoom session to answer your questions on SpectraTone Red upgrades and options. I've already worked with many backers on choosing a rim diameter and shape over the past week. If you did not back SpectraTone Red, but are considering buying one on the April 1st public release, this session could help you make your selections.

Remember, we will close all orders on Tuesday. If you miss this deadline, you miss this production run!
Your credit card will be charged for shipping and any upgrades this Wednesday.

We will begin shipping next Monday!

Join my Zoom session Sunday and Monday at 12:30pm here:

We sent all remaining surveys this morning. This has led to a crazy number of questions!

Despite providing updates showing photos and videos of the lattice, color, and finishing options, many backers are now lost. I recommend going back and reading the last two updates that give you everything you need.

Here are links to make this easier...

Final photos

Lattice designs

Remember, we're going to sell out of many of these upgrade options today as they are limited. 

And finally, there is a survey question that allows you to note anything we may have missed. 

Thank you!
Jason, Jen, Christine

We thought the survey was done two weeks ago, but we were surprised to discover the challenges in offering variations on SpectraTone Red and related upgrades. With that said, the first round of surveys was sent today to 5% of all backers, to test the system. Once we hear back from this first round of backers, we will release the remaining surveys.

Here's why it was worth the wait. We are offering you the choice of any of the 3 lattice structures AND 3 different colors. PLUS there's a 4th option that incorporates 5 new lattice designs, one in each fin available as a standalone Body upgrade to work with the SpectraTone/5MM components you already own.

I'll be filming a YouTube video exploring all the variations tomorrow, so be sure to watch this before making your final selections.

And finally, because all of you helped us bring these new technologies together to create a very high efficiency mouthpiece design that weighs so much less, all add-ons have been significantly discounted.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention that there's a very limited number of Body add-ons in Aluminum, which was not part of the original plan. We didn't think Aluminum would work, but it's perfect for this application.

Okay, that's all I have for you today. We're so excited to hear from you and see your surveys. All SpectraTone Red Brass mouthpiece components have been made, so we'll begin shipping those as soon as the surveys are closed later this month.

It's been a few weeks, and I have some exciting news.
I've been experimenting with color anodizing titanium, and flame coloring steel bodies.
If all goes as planned, there will be the option to add these upgrades, which is why I'm a few days late launching the pledge manager.

I'll also be releasing a few of the original prototypes for purchase in aluminum, translucent red, and other variations, which are very limited. So be sure to return your pledge manager early to grab one of these original prototypes at a great price. You can see some of these variations in this video.

And finally, I will offer upgrades and extra body add-ons one time only with a nice discount. 
I expect to send the pledge manager by Wednesday of next week. 

Thanks again, 
Jason 

I've finished all three Hybrid Body design options for SpectraTone Red mouthpieces. Each of these lattice structures exhibits similar efficiency and weight values. Choose the one you like the best, and the winning design will be the variation offered with all Titanium and Stainless Steel pledges.

I am making some variations of these in aluminum and a very high end resin as well, so watch for these both in a future update and as a limited edition add-on in your pledge managers (in early January).

Happy Holidays!
Jason

I'm finishing up the final three variations you will vote on for Titanium and Stainless Steel SpectraTone RED bodies. Each of these is identical with the exception of the lattice structure filling each of the 5 fins. I'll post these as soon as the renderings are complete, and I'm ordering each for final testing.

As we approach the final few hours of our SpectraTone Red campaign, please take a few seconds to share with your friends, family, and colleagues. 

Thank you!
Jason
