The University of Wisconsin Badger Marching Band recently accepted delivery of over 100 new Getzen Eterna Classic 900S trumpets. The instruments, manufactured in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, by The Getzen Company, were supplied with specially manufactured soft-sided cases sporting the Badger crimson colors with the University of Wisconsin's marching band logo embroidered on the side.
"We're proud to continue to be part of the Badger Band's sound," said Tom Getzen, president and owner of The Getzen Company. "The Badger Marching Band has been using Getzen silver-plated trumpets, trombones, and flugelhorns for several years, and it is always a thrill to hear our instruments being played by a band of this caliber."
Getzen Eterna trumpets feature a medium-large .460" bore, nickel silver mouthpipe, nickel silver slides, 4-3/4" diameter yellow brass bell, first valve slide saddle, and an adjustable third slide ring. This unique model has bright silver plating and chrome-plated finger buttons. Getzen valves are individually hand lapped and carry a lifetime guarantee.
"We'd like to thank White House of Music in Waukesha, Wisconsin, for its service to the Badger Band," Tom Getzen noted.
