Very nice playing! I played a 1975 version of this exact same trumpet and still have it today. Last year I bought a Schilke B6 and it has absolutely nothing over the Getzen. Getzen is an extremely underrated brand. It doesn't hold second fiddle to anyone.
Still playing mine in the rotation: Getzen Eterna Doc Severinsen 900S 🎺 Serial: SK15250 Purchased: 6/26/1973 $410 ($426.40 w/ tax) Mel Bay Music Center, Kirkwood MO
I had a Severinsen Getzen 900s-they were great horns but were put together with spit and chewing gum...braces were always falling off and other parts...I literally wore a hole in the valve casing of one...but they had great valves due to being nickel plated...Doc endorsed the 900s from 1963-1979. Somewhere along the line, I don't know the year, he started having Bach 37 bells soldered on his Getzen horns...sssssshhh...you didn't hear it from me heh-heh
Those are wonderful horns. My friend in middle school was gifted one by his dad. Great playing and sounding horn. I wonder how the newer Getzen equivalents compare?
Many jazz ensemble guys have played and still play a Bach. I never really understood it. But they can get a bright sound. It's more about the mouthpiece and also your personal embouchure.

Sounding good! The Eterna Severinsen is a great horn.
Beautiful tone and some nice phrasing.
Thanks brother!🎺🎶
I have, and still play, my 1973 900s. Supurb Horn.
Nice. Very nice 🎺
My dad used to play this song for me when we were on the ark.
There were two of them, right?

Great sound! Play a Bach Strad myself! Wish the sound was brighter in Jazz bands!

I'm guessing made in the 20s! Is it a True Tone?
