Getzen Eterna Flugelhorn - MUST SEE

[@gabrielbarbalho1099]

Now I have one!!! What a beautiful horn...

[@MarTTy4653]

That's my Flugel, and I love the sound that I get with it. I've been playing on the Getzen since high school. That model was played by Freddie, at on time. Great find! 🙂

Thanks Marty, it's a great horn glad you have one. dB sends Love and Respect to you.

Hey DB, you sound just amazing on that horn - as if your sound needed to be any darker and creamier! I play a later model 896 four-valve Getzen Eterna. A good deal came up, and I had my doubts about a .460" flugel, considering I prefer M bore (.445") trumpets, but I have loved playing on it over the past 6 months or so. I do have a question about how you record flugelhorn, so that the mic captures the darkness and smokiness more accurately. Any tips on mic placement or settings? Thank you!

Sounds great Sam, I have a video on my Channel about recording the trumpet. Please check it out it's the exact same thing for Flugelhorn. dB sends Love and Respect to you

A buddy of mine had a 4-valved Getzen Flugel-loved the way it played-Thad had one-they are actually good Flugel's

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

Yeah JJ they play nice for sure. dB sends Love and Respect to you.

This was a momentous video! And I loved the big finish as the tribute to Freddie Hubbard. Simply excellent!

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the support. Love and Respect to you from dB.

I’ve had one of those for years and I have a love hate relationship with it. It has a beautiful sound like you just proved. BUT it is like wrestling an alligator when I play it. Intonation is surprising good but the large bore (.460) for a flugelhorn beats me up. A monster like Freddie could play it like a toy,but maybe it’s just me, it drains me when I play it for an extended period of time. Thanks for posting all of your videos are awesome!!!!

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

Tom, thanks for interacting. Large Bore horns most definitely can be a challenge. I'm sure you make that baby sing. ❤️❤️

[@chuckb9595]

Good video and the horn sounds amazing.

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

[@Kontrabass66]

Yes, Freddie Hubbard played it...and he was the GREATEST!!

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

Freddie the Great♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@stephenmurphy8833]

Hey DB did you keep the Getzen E? I have just gotten one and have been playing it a bit. I love how easy it is to play pedal tones

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

Yes Steve I still have it and love it. Great to hear from you. ❤️

[@BillBenzon]

I believe that Getzen once made a 4 valve flugelhorn. I think Thad Jones played one. I hear you on getting a 'flugelhornish' sound on trumpet. I find a V cup mouthpiece helps.

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

Hi Bill thanks for interacting. Getzen did make a four valve Eterna Flugelhorn. I really don't play flughorn that much but I definitely do try to get a flugelhornish sound on the trumpet, 💯🎺❤️

[@BillBenzon]

@@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology I hear you. I once owned a Martin Imperial fllugelhorn, which is what Miles played on "Miles Ahead." It had a very small bore and the mouthpiece had a fairly sharp rim. It didn't have much of a Clark Terry sound, which was the sound I had in my ear at the time. I traded it in on a Yamaha 631, which I like very much. But, like you, I mostly play trumpet.

[@Markus_Breuss]

have a 4-valve Getzen Eterna

[@AllThingsBrassAndTechnology]

Nice ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@timothymcarr]

Updated video description: In this video DB explains why we all end up with too many horns. I said THIS horn isn't going anywhere. This is me, everyday.😄
