Presentation
The Getzen 490S belongs to a generation of trumpets designed to take things a step further than traditional beginner models. Its brass bell, crafted from a single piece and carefully shaped, helps to ensure an even distribution of vibrations, resulting in a warm and balanced tone. The silver finish adds a refined aesthetic whilst highlighting the instrument’s classic lines, with a design that retains its character over time.
The design incorporates several features usually reserved for instruments of a higher calibre. The brass mouthpiece tube enhances the response in the lower register, the nickel-silver internal slides contribute to the instrument’s longevity, and the one-piece bell ensures a smooth flow of vibrations. The medium-wide bore facilitates balanced projection across the entire range. The nickel-silver valves, for which this American manufacturer is renowned, ensure rapid, precise and consistent action thanks to a particularly meticulous finish.
The quality of the assembly also plays an important role in the overall performance of this trumpet. The precise fitting of the various parts minimises energy loss within the instrument and contributes to excellent tonal consistency.
This trumpet is ideally suited to long-term musical development thanks to its robust design, which is built to withstand regular use. Its reinforced bell maintains excellent mechanical strength, whilst its balanced weight ensures a comfortable grip during rehearsals or concerts.
