Getzen Tone Balanced Super Deluxe Cornet - SOLD
Serial number: 56493
Year Produced: 1950s
Instrument: Tri-Colored with Copper Tone Ring on the Bell
Price: $250 + Shipping and Handling
This is a nice looking Getzen Tone Balanced Super Deluxe Cornet. It is RARE to find one of these where the bell isn't crumpled. The Brass used on the bell is very thin and thus is very suseptable to damage. The Super Deluxe Model is a classic and is beautiful to look at and play. I believe some repairs have been done on this Cornet as I am NOT the original owner. I see ONE dent (which is along the main crook of the bell and isn't very bad and does not effect the playability of the cornet) which can be seen in one of the pictures below. There is SOME lacquer wear in the Nickel sections of the cornet, but isn't very noticable unless you are right on top of the instrument
All slides and valves move freely - compression is good as well. Comes with Bach Mount Vernon NY 7 cornet mouthpiece. NO CASE on this one, sorry......

some lacquer wear is evident on the bottom nickel tubing
Dent can be seen here, to the left of the brace, right before the main crook.
