Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Professional-level Bb trumpet in silver plate from Getzen's Eterna Classic line. For advancing and working players ready to move past a student horn.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Advancing students stepping up from a first trumpet
- Section and solo work where a brighter projection helps cut
- Players who prefer silver plate feel over lacquer
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — this is well above student-horn money
- Players who want the warmer, softer response of lacquer
- Anyone who dislikes maintaining silver against tarnish

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good trumpet for a beginner?
It is more horn than a beginner needs. This is a professional-line instrument at a professional price; a student model makes more sense for a first year.
02What is the difference between silver and lacquer?
Silver plate generally sounds a touch brighter and more focused, and feels different under the hands. Lacquer tends to be warmer and needs less polishing.
03What key is it in?
Bb, the standard trumpet key for band, orchestra and jazz parts.
04Does it need special care?
Silver plate tarnishes and shows prints, so wipe it down after playing and polish periodically. Valves and slides need regular oil and grease like any trumpet.
