Steel (stainless or otherwise) contains iron and is thus subject to magnetic forces.

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.
