Getzen Custom Series 3047AFR Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- This is a review of the Getzen Custom Series 3047AFR Trombone, a tenor trombone with a single Axial Flow (Thayer) valve with a rose brass 8.5" bell. A professional level trombone that I picked up very cheaply due to it being sold in dreadful condition.

I fucking love the trombone. I joined a ska band recently as a trombone player and I've never had more fun playing music in my life and I've been playing music since I was 8
tell me about it haha I learnt trombone just so I could join my friends ska band. best decision of my life
Can I just say how much I love your videos? I'm personally a trumpet player doing Marching and Jazz Band at the Highschool level, and I love sitting down and tuning into your amazing commentary on different and exotic instruments. You make my day every time you post. I hope you continue to do this for a long while. Thank you :)
Can you do the pros and cons of dependent rotors vs independent rotors on bass trombones?
dependent pro: play d or db in first (more agile)
cons : sound worse when not engaged, less neckpipe
go on tromboneforum.org
Thanks for your thoughts Trent. I've played the 3047AFR for quite a while, and it really has grown on me. Like everything it has its moments, but now that i'm used to it I wouldn't want to play something else.
That's the model horn I had from senior year in high school to about my third year in college. I owned it from 2008 to early 2012 when I traded it in for my current horn which is a Vincent Bach 42AFG with an Edwards nickel slide. The Getzen was a great horn while I had it, but there was something about it that my Bach has that the Getzen lacked and I can't lay my finger on what it was. Anyways, good review! Keep it up!
I own the same trombone for many years now and have been searching quite a while for the right mouthpiece (and the right leadpipe, new it coms with three leadpipes, but mine only had the #1, so I bought the #2 afterwards for a more even sound in all registers). I ended with 2 mouthpieces that work well on this instrument. The Griego CS5 (Which comes standard by this instrument now, but not with mine, so i had to purchase it afterwards) and an Yamaha Canadian Brass Signature (this mouthpiece is out of production but works really well on this horn).
accurate review! have had this trombone for several years. it is a beauty
I have a getzen eternal and it is great!
I started trombone cuz my mom forced me to but now I love it :D
Nice meme pic to go with the comment
Tiny detail; the really small kinda like distortion in the third note of your intro makes me really happy and I find myself listening to it like 4 times each video.
I knew an old marching band director who loved Getzen brass instruments for that big brassy sound.
I've used my Getzen 3047AFR for the last 4 years, and I've only encountered very small issues while using it in orchestral playing. I've noticed that my sound is noticeably "darker" compared to my section mates who have yellow brass bells on their horns. The challenge that I've come across is making my sound brighter. It's great for jazz, but given that I'm more of an orchestral trombonist, I've decided to order an Edwards T350-E with the yellow brass bell.
Trent's jacket is freaking me out.
HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I READ THIS NOW I CAN'T UNSEE IT AGHHHHHHHHH
What does it say?
i have this trombone and use it in brass bands and use my king for more orchestral bands
I’m a fan of thayers personally so I feel like I’d really like this horn
Hi Trent korban here Mr Claman just taught me how to do runaround sue
thank you so much, I was waiting for something like this for so long.
My Conn88CL tenor trombone is about the same colour as your King 7b. Is it just the lacquer or is it the brass mixture that gives it that colour?
Could you review a Jupiter XO tenor trombone with F-attachment?
The kid who sits next to me in class has that model (or at least a very similar one) and i have a Jupiter XO
Cool! I play on a Bach 42B. Think it's corporation era but I'm not sure.
I'm a student in Japan and I really like the meaty sound of the Getzen! Maybe Japanese students are too dependent on Yamaha.
I am investigating this horn because I recently acquired its SMALL-bore cousin, the Getzen Custom 3508R. It is absolutely the most sonorous and free-blowing small-bore trombone I've ever tried, and it has me wondering whether its Edwards or Getzen .547 equivalant would perform similarly. From your evaluation of the 3047AFR, it sounds like the answer is no for the Getzen. Maybe the 3508's nickel outer slide is a key difference.
I've never really liked Getzen trombones...I've played a custom tenor and the custom series bass and found them to be too heavy.
Do you suggest that being an introduction trigger trombone? I've been looking for a review of this model for a while now and I'm very glad you did one on it. I was hoping to get the Red brass bell on it if I do choose to get it.
Concert Etude!
You need to get a hold of a Wessex F Contra. They are so cool, and would love a review. I've been thinking about getting one for some time now.
I'd love one. Unfortunately I can't afford it at the moment.
where did you buy the trombone from?
he is a good trombone player but his articulation and tone isn't that good
Allen Ruiz he's not professional. he never had a reason to become REALLY good. he's great, don't get me wrong. it's just that brass isn't his job
You should hear him on Euphonium or Cornet, those are his main instruments and being in the brass band world he's managed to pick up all the other brass instruments, ie horn tuba and trombone.
Svensk Gamer Trombone was his first instrument actually
@@afloatingpineapple6170 Nope, trombone was his first instrument on this channel that he made videos of, not the first instrument he learned how to play. Look in his other videos.
Svensk Gamer Forgive me of my sins
Hi Trent! Any chance you could tell me what the name of the first song is (the one that starts every video)?
Can you do a video on jazz vs classical?
The sound is soft
Not compatible with Edwards parts I’m afraid (unless they changed it).
The Edwards leadpipes will wit (I bought my Getzen 3047 used with only the #1 leadpipe and bought an edwards #2 leadpipe afterwards).
I very much hate Getzen horns. Everything is way to heavy in weight, the slide is too heavy as you stated, and the axial valve plays worse than the Edwards counterpart. The bells are all soldered beads, which I do not like. All of these problems are avoided with the Edwards lineup, as you can choose differently from the Getzen custom series. I played these horns side by side at TMEA, I was expecting the custom series Getzens to play well compared to their normal professional line but I felt like it was somehow worse than the horns I already knew I disliked. I was expecting to hate the Edwards horns as they are part of Getzen and I already had a great distaste for Getzens from playing on my friends 1047fr's and 1047f's. But I was pleasantly surprised by the Edwards, even more so than the Raths and Shires I played on. (Sorry if this turned into a Edwards fanboy post)
TLDR: Getzen horns are too heavy, Edwards are much better playing and provide more options to match the player :D
Zarkosis Smash Honestly, it's only a problem if you're used to lighter horns. I'm used to my Getzen, it's been through three years of marching with me (the exact same model as the one in the video if I'm not mistaken, they both share the thayer valve)
I am used to medium to heavy weight horns. I play on a Holton-160 as my main horn for orchestral settings, and its a much heavier horn than a horn like a Bach-42 or a Conn-88h in bell thickness and much larger in diameter. I also play a heavyweight copper belled Conn 12h for jazz settings. But I feel like the Getzens are too heavy and don't respond as well as they could if they were perhaps a bit lighter in gauge (or did not contain a soldered rim). The only people I've spoken to who love their Getzens seem to dislike the normal Bach-42 or Conn-88h or even my Holton- so perhaps you are correct that I'm just not used to it. But in my humble opinion I feel like these horns are not ideal for a professional orchestral setting or any other setting for that matter. Even the eastman trombones play better than the getzens eterna line. The custom line is slightly better, but overall the slide is too heavy, the tuning slides are too thick and damper the resonance, and the bell itself doesn't project well. ( Sorry for hating on your horn D: I apologize )
I would also like to point out that very few professionals play Getzens (and probably for similar reasons to mine), the only one that comes to my mind is Ian Bousfield- but his horn is custom made/designed by Christian Griego therefore it is basically an Edwards(Christian runs the shop).
Hahah, no biggie. Everyone has their horn preferences. I'm just extremely accustomed to mine as it's my first horn. I'm not nearly a professional, but my horn has carried me quite far. I'm only a junior in high school after all, and I got mine around 7th grade. My private instructor recommended it to me
Zarkosis Smash I find Getzens are nice intermediate level horns, good for high schoolers. I'm planning on upgrading as my career goes further
Would you be interested in reviewing rhinesound's Tiger Plastic Instruments? I'm considering purchasing one
I'd need someone to send me one.
Hey, I'm trying to learn that song on trumpet! Concert Etude by Alexander Goedick.
Same. I have an audition later this year where I have to play it
Hey Trent, I am looking at switching to the brass family from the wood winds. Are there any tips you have for me to start off?
Thanks
Don't close your teeth, and don't try to force the buzzing. Just blow a steady airstream into the mouthpiece and it'll "do the buzzing for you".
Ok thank you
Which instrument are you coming from?
Tenor saxophone
Then it'd probably best for you to start on either Trombone, Euphonium, or Baritone.
Where would I get a replacement spit valve for a getzen straight tenor thank you I know you are a very busy man.
Nicholas' Trombone Check Hickey's, they have lots of replacement parts. I have had great service from them.
Nicholas' Trombone If you have a local music store with an in-house technician I'd start there.
Thank you all for your kind advice.
Well I guess I'm early
What was the piece in the intro?
concert etude by alexander goedike
ゲジゲ、懐かしい。
its the same one i have.
Mr Hamilton, i totally not agree with your oppinion about this great instrument. I played several different a-brand trombones for the last years, kings, courtois, Conn and must say that i like the Getzen 3047afr more and find it a magnificent brilliant horn with a great large orchestral sound. It is the player who makes the tone and from what i hear of your tone it isnt that great at all.
かっこいいー！
Trent you may be good at playing fast, but you really need to work on your intonation
