Right Nick. It is amazing.

I picked up a Getzen 300 student model cornet off ebay a year ago.

The horn has problems, even then, she plays okay; and for all the Arban's stuff I was working on, worked quite well.

Congrats on your new "old" horn.

Happy Day,

Richard Oliver

p.s. If you have the desire and capability, record some of the Art of Phrasing solos and post them. It would be a telling fact how good an expensive horn can sound in the hands of a good player.
