Hi all,
Curious if anyone out there knows if the Getzen 3047 straight neckpiece fits Edwards tenor bells? If you have an answer, let me know!
This is the one i'm referring to: [

You would need to modify the gooseneck or the bell. The spacing between the bell fittings is not the same on the Getzen Custom series and Edwards Trombones.

And the handslide receiver is different. Getzen are Conn-like tapers and the Edwards are Bach-like. So you would need to change that to use the same slide.
Cheers,
Andy

I guess the question is, what are you trying to do? Do you have an edwards setup and are looking to have a straight neckpipe, or are you trying to attach an edwards bell to your getzen slide?
The straight neckipes from Edwards look to be a little cheaper than the Getzen version.

Hi all, yes suppose I should clarify: I have an Edwards setup that I'm looking for a straight pipe for. Easiest thing is to call the factory or post a WTB ad on here I'm guessing.

Yeah, definitely. And you'll save money at the factory too.
