A truly incredible horn from Getzen, this versatile trumpet really sings in any style, with a very easy blowing feel, particularly in the upper register. I’ve never been more tempted to keep a consigned instrument for my own! Whoever ends up with this one will be lucky indeed.
Purchased new in 2016, this Proteus has rarely left the case, stored in the Getzen instrument sock for added protection. All slides and valves are in like-new condition, and being Getzen, those valves are AWESOME.
The original wooden case is one of my favorites, with plenty of storage, including a nice pocket for holding music. The Getzen platinum warranty covers everything, and is transferable with the instrument.
Comes with a Getzen 7C mouthpiece (I also have several there mouthpieces available for an added price—let me know what you’re looking for!), straight and wah-wah mutes, Fat Cat premium valve oil, and a bottle of Bach slide oil.
If you happen to be local to the Spokane area, pickup is an option. See link below for the Reverb listing which can make shipping a little easier, though I'm also happy to workout other arrangements with TH members to save on listing fees. The Reverb listing also includes more pictures than TH allows, though I'm also happy to send additional information and pictures upon request.
From Getzen's website:
In 1962, the Getzen Company set the trumpet world abuzz with the introduction of the first 900 Eterna trumpet. In 2001, after decades of design changes, that legendary trumpet was returned in the form of the 900 Eterna Classic. Then, in 2004, the Eterna line was enhanced yet again with the introduction of the 900SB Eterna Sterling trumpet. Now the historic Eterna trumpet line is being expanded further with the exciting addition of the 907S Eterna Proteus Bb trumpet.
So what is the Proteus? Just like the name implies, it’s a versatile, all around trumpet. After nearly fifty years at the top of the Eterna line, the 900 Classic doesn’t meet the needs of some of today’s players. Many are seeking a more centered, flexible trumpet rather than the bright, lead style of the Eterna Classic. That is exactly what the Proteus was designed to deliver.
Design aspects such as the heat treated, two piece, #137 yellow brass bell and custom gold brass mouthpipe combine to make the Proteus better suited for chamber and orchestral work than its well known predecessor. Meanwhile, standard features like bright silver plate, fixed third slide ring, and lever waterkeys establish the Proteus as an outstanding value. A true upper level trumpet at a mid-grade price.
