Getzen Eterna 940 A/Bb Piccolo Trumpet
Up for sale is my Getzen Eterna model 940 A/Bb Piccolo trumpet. It comes equipped with the original Bb pipe which receives a cornet mouthpiece. I misplaced the A pipe many moons ago. I bought this horn new in NYC and used it for the entirety of a limited-run Broadway production (“Thou Shalt Not”). I have since moved on to an XO Brass Piccolo Trumpet. This Piccolo Trumpet has a. 420 Bore, hand lapped nickel silver slides, a 3 5/8″ two piece “short bell. The valves are tight and nickel plated. It is made from yellow brass and is finished in clear lacquer. This horn is free blowing and has a great scale (it’s in-tune). This model was assembled at the Getzen Pro Shop around 2001. The serial number is P21356. This horn is in great condition. It has no dents and very few minor cosmetic scratches due to normal wear and tear. It has never had any damage and has never been in need of an overhaul or any kind of repair work whatsoever (I’m the original owner and I take care of my stuff). Included with the horn is a stock Jupiter 11AX cornet mouthpiece (back-bore specifically designed for Piccolo trumpet playing), the original case, paperwork and case keys. The case is in very good condition. The latch springs still work and the locks still lock. The lid does not seat entirely true and needs to be nudged slightly on the left in order for the left side latch to engage. Other than that, the case is very sturdy and will most certainly protect the instrument. Many players acquire Blackburn A and Bb lead-pipes for this model which receive a standard Bb trumpet mouthpiece shank. This is an option to consider. This trumpet has been thoroughly cleaned, greased and oiled. Thank you for your interest, Roger Ingram.
