Re: Getzen Piccolo

Actually a picc is no harder to play than any other instrument. The piston valved horns are much brighter than the rotary counterparts.

Buccinator,
as far as my German goes, I wanted to have a special post just for you. I think that google translator would give anyone with the itch a good idea what I had in mind..............

It is always useful and fair to compare horns in comparable price classes. My original Selmer had a very bright sound and less than optimum intonation. Still no hate, it got the job done. Now I play one of my own design and have the best of all worlds. I still think that the Getzen is a great instrument at a fair price. Sorry to hear that you did not have the same luck that I did!
