Custom Series Trumpets


 
The Getzen Custom Series was created by the development team of the Getzen Pro Shop.  One of the main features of this line is a one-piece engineered bell that is hand-spun, which creates a full, rich tone.  These instruments are designed for the developing and skilled player alike.
  
"Well balanced, great intonation and smooth tone" are only some of the comments given to Custom Series trumpets.  There are several options available for the Bb and C trumpets.  The heavier bronze bell offered on the Bb will create a darker tone that will also offer some brilliance at louder volumes in the upper register.  The lighter Bb bell is recommended for big band and various jazz settings.  The heavier bell option on the C trumpet offers a darker, stronger tone.


"NEW" DOC SEVERINSEN MODEL "Bb" TRUMPETS
  
The new Doc Severinsen trumpets are in our Custom Series, They are made in the Getzen Pro Shop, a smaller area in our plant where instruments are hand-made individually with great care by skilled artisans who have built our top line instruments for many years.

The instruments will have markings on the bell flare that state "Severinsen Custom by Getzen, Elkhorn, WI USA"
  
There are two Severinsen models currently being offered:

DOC SEVERINSEN MODEL 3001 "Bb" TRUMPET
   

(specifications)
 
Bright silverplated with gold plated top and bottom valve caps and gold plated mother-of-pearl finger buttons.

  
Bore: .459"
 
Bell: One-piece, hand hammered yellow brass bell.
 
Intonation Aids: First valve slide saddle, third valve slide ring.
 
Lever water keys
  
Case: Supplied with C3001 Artist vintage wood case with exterior music pouch.
  
Additional: The annealing, baking of the bells, bell bow shape and dimensions, slide shapes and leadpipe lengths/dimensions are all done to Doc's specifications.  Each main bell-to-body brace is "sweet-spotted" in the Pro Shop, a process where the main brace is positioned, play-tested and repositioned from optimum performance before the brace is soldered.  This customizes each unit to it's own hand-hammered bell.  Consequently, stores and customers may notice different placement of the braces when viewing the trumpets side-by-side.
