Ian Bousfield Visits Getzen

[@fowkesme]

So at 15:25 Ian suggests the new Getzens are ‘very nearly’ same quality as the old Elkhart Conns & Mt Vernon Bachs? That’s an admission of failure right? Why is he using this new instrument then??

I love my Getzen Super Deluxe.

In the video, Ian Busfield refers to competitors "instruments that have been put together from outsourced, cheap parts, and just thrown together". It is difficult to interpret it as anything other than that it is Conn and Bach you are referring to. Is this a statement Getzen and Edwards stand for?

Of course, I have no idea is this is a statement that Getzen stands for, but he may be referring to companies such as Shires who outsource the construction of some of their Q horns to China?

@@epicwaluigi7773 Maybe, but the horns they explicitly refers to is from Elkhart and MtVernon, very good back then but not today, due to this production method, must be what he means. Which is not only wrong, but silly. What Bach outsource today for they 42s, as far as I know, is the excellent Hagman and Meinlschmidt valves. Nobody would concider that as cheap parts.
