Only very high quality surgical stainless, it depends on the grade of stainless

I thought stainless steel was non-magnetic.

Amazing. At least in theory. One short clip isn't enough to tell if it can be 
made to play really musically but it sure looks interesting. Push the slide 
first then blow and you get a stable, spot on 'missing note'. Or, blow then 
push 


the slide and you bend it down slowly. 

Without valves I'm guessing and hoping the timbre of the bent notes are close to 


the unbent notes. 

Future refinements look to allow for raising the pitch on bends. Just think what 


could be done if you mix and match. I'd configure it to lower most notes except 
Blow 3 which I'd have set to raise a whole tone: a Richter/Paddy combo in one 
harp. You might also be able to significantly expand the chords available.
