Hello @all others...

ok, may be I posted my opinion in a very rough way, sorry about that. But the facts because of which I criticized the Getzen 940 model stay the same. Just have a look ( or better an ear ! ) on intonation and sound of the masterclass Picc of Getzen ( Eterna-series )...AND compare it with other masterclass instruments, such as Stomvi Elite, Yamaha 6*** or 9*** series, with Kanstul, Schilke or others...so what ??? Money should'nt be an argument, I'll always prefere a more expensive instrument, if it is significantly better than any other...!!! Playing a piccolo is hard enough, so I do'nt need an instrument with intonation problems and a sharp and "steely" sound...
So I personally can't recommend a 940 picc...that's a decision of my own...nobody has to follow it !!!

all the best,

buccinator !!!
