Fantastic trombone from a fantastic company. They made every effort to get it to me for my birthday and did. This review is overdue actually: the craftsmanship of the trombone has stood up to 17 years of ownership. It is my 3rd trombone and by far my favorite. Getzen Eterna.

Wanted to say thank you to Mr. GETZEN for donating a brand new trumpet to the veteran who had his trumpet stolen on Veterans Day. You show an example of how we all can act. Acts of kindness are contagious!
