Hi Steve! Great video as always! I'm old Getzen artist, long before CarolBrass, as you might know, Lol. These Amado watekeys have the little spout on them, which were made Pre-1977. The 'spouts' went away in 1977. My first Getzen 800S cornet in '77 came without the 'spouts.' I'm guessing this horn is from the early to mid-70's, because of the 'spout.' Also, the steel finger buttons went away in '77 for the MOP buttons. But, they've now brought those back on the Retro models, like the Eterna Classic 900S. Some trivia: I was told at the Centralia Ave (the old) factory that CONN made their metal valve buttons. Cheers!!!
