My trumpet of choice is the GETZEN GENESIS 3003 CUSTOM. The horn bares a 464 mm bore that takes some air to fill. The horn's rounded, full tone is tops and has that special GETZEN edge in the upper register. My Flugel horn is the GETZEN CUSTOM SERIES 3894. It carries a dark melow low register as well as solid support in the upper register. The small 420 mm bore makes it the most in tune fluegle ever. My Bass Trumpet is also a GETZEN also. It's an easy blowing horn and the action is as accurate and as easy as the top of the line GENESIS CUSTOM Trumpets.
