Getzen - Eterna - Page 3

My Severinsen Eterna is 40 years old and still going strong! Have also owned a Getzen Custom (with interchangeable bell) -that was one sweet horn too - heavier leadpipe than the Eterna so seemed tighter in a good way.

A lot of good horns out there today - and since you are close to NYC - you could drop down to Woodbridge NJ and visit Dillons - place makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop - not a lot of places with that much brass that you can try on the spot - and a great and helpful staff - I miss them down here in Texas!

Could any getzen eterna Eb players tell me what the screw is for on the third valve slide? It isnt for a lyre as it wouldnt fit and it isnt to keep the slide from falling out as someone suggested to me yesterday. Is it just for show? Or something to keep sop players occupied during the rests...? lol

On the other hand, do a search here or on Trumpet Herald for Getzen 700 trumpets. That is a perfect case where you find many people very satisfied with an intermediate priced horn.

As an aside, several of our international dealers carry our student trumpets. However, they don't market them as such. Many of them sell 390 and 490 trumpets as step-up horns because of their quality.

And, just because I can, I'll give you a little insider information. We are just about to introduce another model in the Eterna line. Of course everyone knows about the 900 Eterna Classic (formerly the Eterna Severinsen) and we have the 900SB Eterna Sterling with the sheet sterling silver bell. We are in the final stages of developing the 907S Eterna Proteus trumpet. I won't get into specifics, but it is intended to be a more versatile and flexible Eterna trumpet. Where some find the Eterna Classic to be too much of a lead or jazz horn, the Eterna Proteus will satisfy the need for a slightly more mellow tone better suited for orchestral and ensemble work. Keep your ears open for more on that. And let's just keep this between us. :-D

I purchased a Getzen 700SP new in 2000 because my research showed it to be the best value for money. Two years ago I bought a (used) 1973 Eterna 900 - while I loved the 700SP in every respect, comparing it with the 900 it paled. The 900 is physically lighter (lacquer vs silverplate) and I get more feedback from the 900 and it is my horn of choice. Understand that I am an interested amateur with short, slow, fingers. The 700 is presented on the Getzen website, as I read it, as a high end intermediate level horn. The valves, construction, finish, tone, slotting, on both are wonderful but the 900 is the better of the two. My only somewhat negative comment is that I needed to learn to stretch my fingers on my left hand into a "Vulcan salute" and my hand ached for while until I got used to it. Both trumpets are recommended, but go for the 900.

Have had the pleasure of playing the 907S Eterna Proteus trumpet and other models, thanks to my friends at The Horn Shop here in Fresno Ca. All I can say is "JOB WELL DONE TO GETZEN" saving to buy this horn presently, this trumpet very comparable to my olds, was looking to purchase a silver trumpet for Church playing tried many different brands models and just fell in love with the proteus. Thanks Getzen and very nice to see Brett involved.
