Hi

Hi Tang705!

Getzen builds among the best valves in the business!

My Eterna is four valved, although three should be enough for just about everything, especially if you can kick the third or first valve slide out for the nasy 13, 123 valve combinations. My Eterna has a .460 bore, which is far bigger than the conventional flugelhorns, so the tone tends to be a bit on the bright side, however, a deeper mouthpiece can compensate.

If it is cheap enough, it may well be a great invesment for a player.

Maurice Andre played one.

This question goes for anyone who posts. how much would u spend on it if it was in a playable condition.

Vulgano Brother · 07-15-2008, 03:28 AM

I am such a cheapo I'd offer $250 for it if I were in the market.

In excellent condition with case up to $500. I have the 4 valve too. Paid $750 for it.

My Eterna is from the 1970´s and I love it. I play it with a Warburton 3 FLX and sound is wonderful: dark, fat and buttery as you want it to be. It can also have large volume and never sounds tubby. Listen to Freddie Hubbard in "Here´s that rainy day", that´s the Getzen sound.

$300-$500?
