Cool!
You're all set, Mike, thanks very much.
It shares a Getzen hard case with a trumpet of another brand. So it is not the original case. I am in Wisconsin, USA. The horn is in great shape. I had it cleaned about 19 years ago, but it is still looking very good. Just as an interesting note, my father was the vice president and general manager of the Getzen company until 1981 when he passed. I have 6 horns of his . Thank you!
