Gendreauj Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Won a bid on eBay for a Getzen 800 Eternal cornet. Does have a 1st slide thumb saddle and 3rd slide fixed ring. Starting to get used to the Amado water keys. Has anyone played the Getzen 800 cornet? Is it a vast improvement over the Capri cornet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 You'll love it! They sound great and are quite improved over the Capri model. Played one in concert band in high school and had a wonderful sound! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendreauj Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Received the Getzen 800 cornet yesterday. Excellent shape, sounds great. So far, both mouthpieces work well .Like the modification on the 3rd slide, flipped the slide and placed a fixed slide on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a lyre or push rod to figure out what this is. Yes I probably should contact the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendreauj Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Yes I did contact the previous owner. There is a lyre holder on this trumpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendreauj Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 When I first got this trumpet, I thought it was mouthpiece sensitive. After playing with my three trumpet mouthpieces, found it was not. Yes I am enjoying this trumpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendreauj Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Replaced the springs the springs on my Getzen 800 cornet. Made a big difference. Until I bought the Getzen Renaissance trumpet, I didn't realize how slow the finger buttons were on the Cornet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
