taz_39So much for the dramatic, nostalgic twists and turns of fate!
They sent me the wrong model of trombone!
It's still a Getzen Eterna, just the original model.
So it was still a lovely thing to pull it out of the box and see that familiar rose brass bell :)
But I could tell right away that it was not the new version.
No removable leadpipe, no silver tuning pipe, no variegated rotor, and nowhere on the horn did it say "Novus".
I'm disappointed, but called the store and hopefully they'll get back to me soon (the person I who sold me the horn was off today.)
Mostly I'm annoyed that no one LOOKED at the trombone before sending it off.
Typical.
This makes me doubt that they actually have the new model in stock.
Which means I'll probably be sending this horn back and getting a refund.
But it was nice to see it again, and after I talk to the salesperson tomorrow, maybe I'll play it a little before sending it back if that doesn't up my restocking fee.
