Advice on Vintage Getzen Purchase

Hi Folks,

I'm a retired ex-choir teacher (who has been in school adm. for 17 years) and would like to play in our local community band. I'm not really a player, but because of my music background, I think I'll do OK in this setting. I bought a new Getzen Custom cornet. It was a great horn. It played great, but, I have always liked old things and decided to sell it and look for a vintage Getzen, either cornet or trumpet.

My question is, if I wanted to spend between $500 and $1,000, and get a near mint Getzen trumpet/cornet, what would the best value be.

Thanks for any help.

John
