Possibly F.S.- Getzen 1062

Bob,

Sorry you feel the need to sell the horn, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta . . .

One piece of advice against selling is the fact that you have played bass trombone in several groups and can hold your own. Keeping the Getzen would allow you to take some bass 'bone gigs while in school and, once you are done, give you some opportunities you might not othewise have.

If you do insist on selling it, I can attest that this horn was much better than the guy trying to play it - me. I bought it from Steve Ferguson. If I recall, the slide had been given a tune-up by John Sandhagen at the Boneyard - John does this work on most of the horns Steve gets from the factory. The slide moved like butter. Whoever buys it will be getting a great horn.

Bob,
Since you are keeping it, you may strongly want to consider getting an Edwards bullet brace. Also, the Edwards counterweight does wonders for improving the balance of this horn.
