Skylinersop16 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 The first one is a Ludwig actually and the second is a Getzen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornsUp Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 These horns are bass-baritones made by Getzen. They are G-F, so they finger like 2-piston bugles. Piston is #1 and rotary is #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 These horns are bass-baritones made by Getzen. They are G-F, so they finger like 2-piston bugles. Piston is #1 and rotary is #2. Thanks for clarifying the whole G-F#-F issue on these, man. I forgot to be complete. At least those suckers aren't G-D F# horns. From the looks of those in the pics, they're pretty raw horns to play on. Gotta have a good pair of ears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornsUp Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Upon further examination: We can't see the receiver, but the second bugle actually is a French horn. I recognize the flare of the trombone bell that Getzen used on these. The Bass-baritone is converted from G-D, the DeLuxe model was not made after the 1963 fire. And Ludwig did not market stencilled Getzens after 1962. The FH is G-F from the factory, there are no solder pads evidencing tubing removal. Both bugles are in molded cases from the late Getzen era. The Titleist trigger rotary (made in Italy) proved over time to be more rugged than the Olds studpost models which followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
