WTB G60 prototype
I know they are far and few between. But if you have one you're willing to part with, or have a lead on one for sale, please let me know!

Re: WTB G60 prototype
I know of three:
One is stamped "Getzen" and is the only actual Getzen-made one and, I believe, was previously owned by David Fedderly. (Might have made its way to Chicago after that for a time)
The other two are not stamped:
One is in Cleveland and used to be mine. My understanding is that this is the one that was used as the model for the stamped G60.
The third was purchased not that long ago from Dillon and features a wide wrap on the 4th valve tubing.

Re: WTB G60 prototype
For a while, I owned that frankenhorn Bob built. It had a couple of wonky notes, but It was a wonderful horn when I figured it out. I sold it to buy a tiny Meinl Weston 182, because it was a better companion - in terms of contrast of breadth of sound - to the Piggy I owned at the time.
FWIW, I'd buy that horn back in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. Also, based on heresay, Fedderly really enjoyed his prototype.
