Getzen serial numbers/production dates

Do any of you folks know of a site which lists the production dates for Getzen instruments by serial number? The horn in question is a Getzen Eterna flugelhorn, probably manufactured in 1969-70. It's a very nice horn, by the way. Thanks!

Re: Getzen serial numbers/production dates

Thanks Brett. By the way, I really enjoy the horn; it's very responsive, with a beautiful sound. It sat idle for over 30 years and looks brand new. Best regards.

You need to determine the model number in order to date your Getzen by serial number. Unlike most brass makers, Getzen uses a different serial number series for each model.”

“The age of any instrument manufactured after 1963 can be easily dated using the serial number. However, instruments produced prior to 1963 cannot be dated. This is because of a devastating fire at the factory which destroyed all of the company's production records. For these instruments the only option is an educated guess at a possible manufacture date. This guess can usually narrow things down to within a few years.”

Re: Getzen serial numbers/production dates

I know this is quite an old thread, but I am a newbie - see if this helps anyone. I found Getzen serial numbers, from 1964 to 1992 at Getzen Serial Numbers.
