The Bb Getzen Eterna Proteus 907S Trumpet is a special model offering unique features through its specifically treated bell. Unlike the Eterna 900 Standard, which offers several options, the Proteus stands out as the most homogeneous in the Eterna range.
With a 0.460 inches (11.68 mm) bore and rose brass leadpipe, the Proteus 907S offers precise centering and excellent flexibility. Its Type 37 bell, handmade in two pieces and treated at very high temperatures, provides a round, dark sound with superior projection and sound width. Its flexibility eases playability and delivers better performance than the Eterna 900 Classic.
Advantages of the Proteus 907S include a perfect balance between projection and sound width, reliable and durable construction, and a unique sound color within the Eterna series. Additionally, this trumpet can handle full power without saturation thanks to its excellent pistons, known as the best in the world.
However, some aspects could be improved. The provided luxury case, while high quality, may be inconvenient due to its weight, lack of backpack system, and bulkiness. Despite its good projection, some musicians might feel a slight restraint in the sound.
This Getzen Eterna Proteus 907S is an exceptional trumpet offering a unique sound, solid and reliable construction, and excellent projection capabilities. It is ideal for musicians seeking a versatile instrument with great expressiveness and precise response.
