DEG Getzen Signature 2000 - F Attachment Tombone

This is a well used DEG Don E. Getzen Signature 2000 model Professional F attachment trombone.

Here’s some info about it.

The DEG Signature 2000 Custom Series refers to professional-grade brass instruments designed and produced under the direction of Donald E. Getzen (son of the Getzen company founder, who later started DEG Music Products).

Overview and History

• Origins: Donald E. Getzen left the main Getzen company to form DEG (Don E. Getzen), which produced distinct high-end or custom horn lines. Some Signature/Signature 2000 series instruments were crafted in collaboration with European makers (such as Willson in Switzerland) during the 1980s.

• Lineup: The Signature and Signature 2000 series included professional-level trumpets, flugelhorns, cornets, trombones, and piccolo trumpets.

• Key Designers: These instruments were often designed in collaboration with noted brass artists and designers like Tony Scodwell and Ray Amado.

• Features: They are known for premium components—such as high-precision Bauerfeind valves on select models—heavy gold brass or rose brass bells, and distinct artisanal detailing.

Rarity and Standing

• Rankings: These professional custom horns sit well above standard student-line instruments (like Getzen's 300/400 series) and are viewed as rare, highly collectible specialty horns.

• Value: Because production numbers were low (for instance, limited piccolo trumpets or custom LA/NY prototype variants), they command strong collector interest and higher price points on the vintage market.
