You sound fantastic! I've had a Bach 42bo for awhile now and I've been thinking of going back to Getzen since my first f trigger trombone was a Getzen. The only thing holding me back is the narrow hand slide, I've gotten used to the 42's wider and larger sound, I played on a conn 88H a few times and didn't like it due to how small it felt.
Thanks for watching! The 4147IB and 88HNV certainly have some similarities; I think the 4147 has a bit broader sound with a somewhat denser core, with its new rotor providing a nice evenness between the open and F sides. With that said, the 88HNV has a really nice color while adding more weight then the standard 88HO and I like the difference in the feel of the F side with its unique Minick-type wrap (plus it’s $1300 less then the 4147…)
We unfortunately don’t have any in stock but have three in order (although one is already reserved!). Getzen is giving us a December timeline right now; if you are interested in placing an order for one of these feel free to email at tromboneshop@schmittmusic.com and I’d be happy to chat about detail!
There are some similarities between the 4147IB and 42XPS, especially the latest generation Bousfield. They are both a bit more on the efficient side in terms of airflow and have a certain complexity to their timbre. I find that the Getzen is a bit lighter overall in response and a bit more flexible, with the Steiner, while flexible, having a bit more weight to it's response...
Neither, honestly; I would equate more to an Edwards 396 or Shires Colin Williams/Vintage Chicago/Rejano experience. Really it is more of a modern European kind of feel (which makes sense given their design work with Enzo…)
The pillars change how the horn resonates, impacting timbre and response. Such tiny changes in weight shouldn’t make such a big difference but they really do!
Thanks for the comment! The 4147IB demoed here was the latest iteration introduced at the Midwest Clinic 2021; I know that Christian and the Getzen team continue to tweak their designs but are there more substantial changes that we have missed since then?
clarity of sound was amazing
Nice. I would like to see you line up about 5 or 6 different brands and play one set it down and pick up the next brand to hear the difference. Thanks

Looks and sounds like a great horn! I've only played on Yamahas and on standard tenor trombones without the F attachment
We have a few more in the shop right now and they are as good as the one in the video; definitely worth trying if you have a chance!
Nice review- I’ve always wanted to try one of these. How do you think it stacks up to the new Conn 88HNV?

Very nice. I would like to order :). I saw your site that is not available right now

How does it compare to the Peter Steiner Bach 42 in price and sound?

Does it play more similar to a Bach 42 or Conn 88h now?

Thank you. I appreciate your response!
Great review. What do you mean, F attachment being reversed, different feel. Many thanks
演奏が上手ですね！
what do the pillars do?

@@SchmittMusicTromboneShop thanks! I was wondering cause I bought the getzen a month ago
This isn't the latest. There’s a Gen III which is a game changer in my opinion.

Fine player ☝️…I am a jazz player but love listening to you play.
