My rant about the elitists who use Edwards horns which are exactly like their Getzen Custom Series counterparts.

00:00 - 00:03 Another guy went into debt to buy a $5,000 trombone.

00:04 - 00:05 I hear that it was an Edwards.

00:05 - 00:07 He went to the factory and everything.

00:08 - 00:12 After spending a day customizing it, it turned out that the specs he wanted were

00:12 - 00:15 exactly those of Getzen custom series, but he still bought the Edwards.

00:17 - 00:19 Why didn't he just buy the Getzen?

00:19 - 00:21 He could've saved almost half the price.

00:24 - 00:26 It's... a...

00:27 - 00:28 student brand

00:31 - 00:33 Getzen is store brand Edwards

00:34 - 00:36 It's not professional.

00:53 - 00:58 If you don't play a modular .547 bore Tenor, get out.

01:13 - 01:15 They are the same fucking thing.

01:15 - 01:17 The only difference is the words stamped on the bell.

01:18 - 01:23 Any lame dumbass would know that the Edwards is identical to the Getzen.

01:25 - 01:28 But you elitists ruin it.

01:29 - 01:31 "Getzen is store brand."

01:31 - 01:34 Bullshit! In a blind test of both horns,

01:34 - 01:37 no one could tell even a minute difference.

01:37 - 01:40 They just have two different bell stamps. And two different price tags.

01:40 - 01:42 But the Edwards has a more 'orchestral' quality.

01:42 - 01:46 Horse shit. Orchestral trombonists used to play small bore Tenors up until the late 20th century.

01:46 - 01:48 Because Tenors evolved to have an 'Orchestral Sound'.

01:48 - 01:52 My best recording of Finlandia was on a King 3B.

01:53 - 01:54 Everyone loved it.

01:56 - 01:57 'Orchestral sound' means absolutely nothing.

01:57 - 02:00 Don't even get me started on the fucking "blend argument"

02:00 - 02:03 I can blend with the other two trombones perfectly fine with any horn

02:04 - 02:08 So it truly only matters what horn works for you.

02:08 - 02:13 and this dumbass didn't just take the identical Getzen for a good price.

02:14 - 02:16 He went $5,000 into debt to get a horn that only has a fancier stamp.

02:17 - 02:21 What an utter idiot! What a dancing buffoon!

02:27 - 02:29 My Custom Series works wonderfully in Orchestras.

02:30 - 02:34 I sound good in Big Bands too.

02:34 - 02:36 But I am always asked by stuck up pricks,

02:41 - 02:42 "Why not get the Edwards?"

02:43 - 02:47 This IS the Edwards, you ass. I didn't have the budget for an Edwards,

02:48 - 02:53 but found out that the Custom Series was exactly what I wanted for a better price.

02:54 - 02:56 I am perfectly happy with my Getzen.

02:56 - 02:59 But the Edwards/Shires bastards laugh and shove sticks up their asses

03:00 - 03:02 about my "Step-Up Model horn."

03:04 - 03:07 It's okay, we play 88H's.

03:14 - 03:16 I should have just stripped the lacquer.

03:19 - 03:23 I could've lied. Called it an 88H with the Elkhart Metal bell.

03:25 - 03:26 I might do that anyway.

03:31 - 03:33 The bell will resonate better.

03:40 - 03:46 Not to say it matters.

03:46 - 03:49 I don't want to debate the pros and cons of lacquer stripping.
