This item for sale is an unused GETZEN valve trombone. The model number is 398, which suggests it's an early model from Getzen. Getzen lost most of its past production records in a factory fire in 1963, so the serial number can't be used to determine the manufacturing year. However, the included envelope has an address different from the current factory, suggesting it's quite old. The condition is completely unused, so it can be used immediately. However, there is some rust in places, so please check the images. I checked overseas sites and it seems to be trading for $150, so I've set the price accordingly, but I'm open to price negotiations. Recently, there have been frequent cases of swap scams, so basically, I'm selling as-is, no returns. - Brand: GETZEN - Model Name: Valve Trombone - Condition: Unused Thank you for looking.
