| You really should try several out. There's basically two types -- long bell and short bell models. I prefer the long bell as they tend to be larger bore and more open blowing.
I have a friend who bought a Benge and he loves it. The price was very good and it has a nice sound. His is a short-bell model.
I've played the Getzen Eterna several times, but only because that's really all that's been available to me. It's an okay horn but like I said, I prefer the long bell models and the eterna can have its own issues when it comes to intonation and tone (a little too bright and edgy for my tastes).
Good luck! But like I said...try 'em all out before you decide.
However, that's just my 2 pennies. There are others here far more informative than I could be. I'm hoping they weigh in as I'd love to see what people's opinions are on this. (And has ANYONE tried the new Getzen 3916 yet???).
