John Packer Ltd has announced that it has become a stockist of the famous Getzen range of instruments.

Superb

The excited staff members of the John Packer Brass Department have already got their hands on some superb Getzen instruments, including the Getzen Custom 3850S-UK cornet.

The stunning professional level cornet features a 4 ¾” seamless copper bell and 1st and 3rd slide triggers. Its overall performance has already gained critical acclaim whether played in an ensemble or as a solo instrument.

Come and try
