Getzen 900 Series Eterna

Does anyone play a Getzen Eterna 900 Bb? If so, please post a review, as I have a student who may want one.....I have never played one of these horns. Also, what do they cost new? THANKS!!

I owned a older Severinsen Eterna 900 back a few years ago. Great sound kind of hard to blend with other horns. Great lead/solo horn. A bright horn. Easy to play.

Hi jazzman,

I bought a new Eterna 900 Classic in April of last year. I paid $985 for mine in clear lacquer. Last year I was posting more over at the TH and submitted a review at that site. Since you asked the question here, I'll give you the major points.

1) Quality was very good. My only complaint was that the polishing was a little uneven. In silverplate you would never know.

2) Valves were excellent of course. They work equally well with standard Getzen oil or Blue Juice.

3) The blow was very free for a .460 bore horn.

4) Intonation was very good and much better than the Eterna 700s I used to own.

4) Tone was bright and "zingy". This will never be a classical horn. :wink:

5) It is a lighter-weight horn and tends to have more flexibility than slotting. It is easy to play...reminds me of a nice Olds Ambassador I played a couple weeks ago.

6) It came with the traditional Eterna hard case with interior music compartment. That would be a nice feature for a student who has lesson books and sheet music.

If I can answer any other questions, please feel free to ask. Be well.
