Getzen 4047ET

Post by arich621 »

Anyone try one of these recently, perhaps at ATW, and have any thoughts to share? Seems like they must’ve developed quite a good horn with Enzo if it’s already drawing endorsements from other top players/teachers. Hoping to try one out this summer but just curious for people’s thoughts so far!

One of the best instruments ever tried.

It was hands down the best horn at the Edwards booth for me. It had a very easy blow, and was easy to color. Softs we’re dark and loud blossomed quite well. The harmonic pillars were noticeable. Would be really cool to have the full harmonic pillar but even the smaller one was noticeable.

Nice!! Nothing but positive stuff so far. There’s a decent bit of 4147IB’s in the US but not a ton used by pros, I wonder if this one will make more of a splash and fit the style of US orchestral playing better.

There are pretty much differences between these models. The choice is personal.

I play a 4047DS but I changed out the slide to a T396 ones because the leadpipe felt too tight for me as a bass player. I can’t wait to try this out. And if I like it, I could always try a new leadpipe on this model.

The ET stock pipe is apparently a rather short, sterling pipe. I wonder the degree to which that influences the feel.

So is the 396 AR pipe. Interesting!

New interview with Enzo Turriziani about the Getzen 4047ET.

I’m not a collector, I just have too many trombones….

Just picked one up this past weekend. Can't say enough positive things about it.

I upgraded my DS to the features on the ET. New dome insert and seamed tuning slide. Made what I thought was a perfect tenor to an even better one. But I still use the 396 slide. I tried with an ET slide and boy did it help my high range. If I played more orchestral first trombone or solo works that is what I use. My tenor playing is either second bone or chamber music that my blend is just right .
