Getzen Trumpet

[Rut]

Were so proud to be a Getzen dealer! The 900DLX "Deluxe" trumpet is a beautiful trumpet with a copper bell, Sterling silver leadpipe (won't rot!), solid bronze valve casings, and a clear lacquer finish so you can appreciate the look of the metals. It has a 4.75" two-piece bell with a visible seam. The bell engraving denotes that this is a special edition trumpet to celebrate Getzen's 80th anniversary.

Designed for the professionals that desire an easy blowing instrument with wonderfully rich, brilliant tones. The uniquely crafted copper bell combines the fine tonal color you would expect, with an unusual flexibility and powerful ease of play not typically seen on a copper bell trumpet.

A special instrument deserves a special case. Sturdily built with brass hardware and a rugged, wooden body. The styled interior is fully padded and blocked for maximum protection. Handsomely bound and covered in high grade, vegan leather and fabric. A design inspired by the gladstone cases of the past.

The trumpet is a brass instrument that can be heard in orchestras and concert bands around the world, as well as popular music genres like rock and jazz. In fact, the trumpet has a history which stems all the way back to 1500 B.C. - although most early versions of the instrument were used for military and ceremonial purposes. The trumpet has a very higher register than any other brass instrument and many different types are available, the most common being the Bb trumpet (other keys include C, D, Eb, E, F and G).

Like all brass instruments, trumpets are played by blowing into a mouthpiece with closed lips. This creates a "buzzing" sound which is then controlled by pressing and releasing three valves to project various notes from the bell. The dimensions and size of the trumpet's mouthpiece will have the biggest impact on its resulting sound and playability. Other main parts of a trumpet are: the lead pipe (where the mouthpiece is inserted), main tuning slide (which raises and lowers the instrument's pitch), and the piston valves (used to change the length of the tubing).

Different types of metals will also influence the sound of a trumpet. Yellow brass is industry standard and delivers a cutting tone; gold brass is preferred for its full sound and excellent projection; and red brass delivers a mellow tone and is often used for the leadpipe on student models. Other common metals for trumpets are nickel silver (mainly for slides) and sterling silver (a favored metal for bells). Whether a player goes with a lacquered or silver-plated finish will come down to personal taste - many pros agree that silver-plated trumpets have a brighter sound compared to the darker tone of trumpets with lacquered finishes. Today's line of student, intermediate and professional trumpets is extensive - some respected manufacturers include Bundy, Verve, Yamaha, Allora, Bach, Getzen, Conn and Schilke.

The first new Getzen trumpet model in more than a decade, the Getzen Eterna Deluxe trumpets are products of the marriage between modern-day designs and old-world craftsmanship. With 2 models born of the emblematic Eterna line, both models are highlighted with stylistic elements reminiscent of the Super Deluxe models of the 1950s. Special features like sterling silver leadpipes, solid bronze valve sections, and tempered sheet and sheet bells are expertly crafted and united with time tested Eterna designs to create two brand new, wonderfully unique trumpets.

Sometimes there are instruments in the ensemble other than those shown above. These are linked to their respective principal instruments with either a "d" if the same player doubles the instrument, or a "+" if an extra player is required. Whenever this occurs, we will separate the first four digits with commas for clarity. Thus a double reed quartet of 2 oboes, english horn and bassoon will look like this:

Thus, the Copland Fanfare shown above is for 3 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, no Euphonium, 1 Tuba and Tympani. There is no separate number for Bass Trombone, but it can generally be assumed that if there are multiple Trombone parts, the lowest part can/should be performed on Bass Trombone.

These numbers tell you how many of each instrument are in the ensemble. The first number stands for Violin, the second for Viola, the third for Cello, and the fourth for Double Bass. Thus, this string quartet is for 2 Violas and 2 Cellos, rather than the usual 2110. Titles with no bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:

The bracketed numbers tell you the precise instrumentation of the ensemble. The system used above is standard in the orchestra music field. The first set of numbers (before the dash) represent the Woodwinds. The set of numbers after the dash represent the Brass. Percussion is abbreviated following the brass. Strings are represented with a series of five digits representing the quantity of each part (first violin, second violin, viola, cello, bass). Other Required and Solo parts follow the strings:

Principal auxilary instruments (piccolo, english horn, bass clarinet, contrabassoon, wagner tuba, cornet & euphonium) are linked to their respective instruments with either a "d" if the same player doubles the auxiliary instrument, or a "+" if an extra player is required. Instruments shown in parenthesis are optional and may be omitted.

The second example is common for a concert band or wind ensemble piece. This ficticious work is for 2 flutes (plus piccolo), 1 oboe, 3 clarinets plus alto and bass clarinets, 2 bassoons, 5 saxes (soprano, 2 altos, tenor & bari), 2 trumpets (plus 2 cornets), 3 trombones, euphonium, tuba, tympani, percussion and double bass. Note the inclusion of the saxes after bassoon for this band work. Note also that the separate euphonium part is attached to trombone with a plus sign. For orchestral music, saxes are at the end (see Saxophones below. It is highly typical of band sets to have multiple copies of parts, especially flute, clarinet, sax, trumpet, trombone & percussion. Multiples, if any, are not shown in this system. The numbers represent only distinct parts, not the number of copies of a part.

Note: This system lists Horn before Trumpet. This is standard orchestral nomenclature. Unless otherwise noted, we will use this system for both orchestra and band works (in most band scores, Trumpet precedes Horn, and sometimes Oboe & Bassoon follow Clarinet). Also, it should be noted that Euphonium can be doubled by either Trombone or Tuba. Typically, orchestra scores have the tuba linked to euphonium, but it does happen where Trombone is the principal instead.

Saxophones, when included in orchestral music (they rarely are) will be shown in the "other instrument" location after strings and before the soloist, if any. However for band music, they are commonly present and therefore will be indicated after bassoon as something similar to "SAATB" where S=soprano, A=alto, T=tenor and B=baritone. Letters that are duplicated (as in A in this example) indicate multiple parts.

The Getzen Company is a family-owned manufacturer and wholesaler of brass instruments. The present product portfolio consists of trumpets, cornets, flugelhorns, trombones, and a baritone horn. Four generations of the Getzen family have participated in the company. Most Getzen instruments are rated well by consumers, and it is well known for its custom line of Edwards trumpets and trombones.

In 1939, Anthony James (T.J.) Getzen founded the Getzen Company, in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Getzen had trained in instrument repair with the C.G. Conn company and worked as a plant superintendent for the Frank Holton Company. Initially opened as a repair shop, the company expanded after World War II to instrument manufacture. In 1946, Getzen produced its first trombones. In 1947, Getzen started producing trumpets and cornets as well. In 1949, J. Robert Getzen, T.J.'s son, assumed the position of plant superintendent, and Getzen started to produce piston bugles. These bugles became popular with Drum and Bugle Corps.[1]
