Yes, I was taken by the similarities with the Pan American, but it seemed a little 'off', perhaps it was an attempt to copy Conn's design...or was it the other way around?

I have also noted similarities with the overall appearance of an earlier Getzen - a super deluxe, I believe - except without the copper ferules (but the ferules are very similar style).

This horn is quite solid, blows very easily, and has a nice warm tone. Going back to my '48 Olds felt as though there was a sock stuffed in the bell. Ok, it wasn't that bad, but you get the idea.

Which ever the case, it is a nice looking horn and plays well. And for that I am happy.
