The Getzen Custom series of professional trombones is a benchmark in superior quality instruments. Each trombone in the series is entirely made in the Getzen factory in the USA, guaranteeing artisanal excellence.
The Custom trombone offers musicians unparalleled flexibility with its customization options. Trombonists can choose from different leadpipes and bells to create the instrument that best suits their preferences and playing style.
The conical bore of 0.5/0.508 inches (12.7/12.9 mm) allows for a quick and precise response, while the rose or yellow brass bell produces a rich and warm sound. The silver-plated nickel-silver outer slides, with a yellow brass finish, add an aesthetic touch while enhancing resonance.
What truly sets the Custom model apart are its 3 interchangeable leadpipes, which allow musicians to modulate the ease of play, sound, and response of their trombone. This offers exceptional flexibility, enabling trombonists to adapt their instrument to different musical situations.
The Custom trombone also stands out for its lightness, making it a comfortable choice for musicians who play for extended periods. Its excellent response and splendid projection ensure a remarkable sound presence in all musical contexts.
However, some musicians have noted that the Custom trombone can hold back the play a bit, requiring some control. Additionally, the case provided with the instrument is considered bulky and heavy, which can be a drawback during frequent travel.
