I have played a Getzen since 1973. They are a beautifully free blowing
cornet with great valves and a medium/large bore, slightly smaller than the
Sov. The gauge of the metal is rather thin but adds to the vibrancy of the
instrument. The tuning is not as good as a sovereign and the f's (top line)
and g's are very sharp. Top a's are also very splittable. I like their sound
very much but a deep cup mouthpiece is needed to take off the edge  - I use
a Wick 2 - otherwise they can cut sheet metal.
