Gendreauj Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Bought a Getzen Brass trumpet for $530.00 dollars off ebay. It is a professional trumpet made a limited time by Getzen. Had only one rival bidder, so I payed $30.00 dollars more than I wanted. After receiving the new trumpet, I will sell the Getzen Renaissance trumpet. Should have the trumpet this week. Has anyone played this trumpet? Edited September 13, 2020 by Gendreauj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I've heard good things about Getzen valves. Post some pics of it please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendreauj Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 I will post photos as soon as I can. This will be eleventh Getzen horn I have owed. Quality of their horns are excellent. I have owed many brands /models of trumpets, only one valves were bad, due to previous owners DYI. Like the valve setup with the springs in the middle, number engraved on side of valves. Looking forward to playing this horn and selling my other one. Trying to find a decent not expensive gold trim kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendreauj Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Received the Getzen Canadian Brass trumpet today. It is in excellent shape.Looks almost new, previous owner took care of it.Gave the trumpet and mouthpiece a bath. Cleaned the slides and it will take a few more baths to get as clean as I want. Let the trumpet air day. Then reassemble it, oiled valves, greased the slides. The trumpet is excellent in all ranges, likes all of mouthpieces. Brighter than I am used to, but I can live with it.

Gendreauj Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Very expressive horn, brighter sounded to me than the renaissance trumpet. The mouthpiece provided is a Canadian Brass 3 megatone mouthpiece, works well. Obviously made by Bach. It will be hard to sell this trumpet, not very well known. A seller on ebay was unable to sell it the first time around, so had to relist it. Due to the pandemic I am not working my part time job. Have to sell the Getzen Renaissance trumpet to pay down my PayPal bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
