I'm looking for a C tuba and found the Getzen to be my favorite (tried a Holton Harvey Phillips, Miraphone 186, and a couple others I can't remember). I know Canadian Brass made the G50 before Getzen, and it's the exact same model... or something like that. Can anyone clear this up? When did Getzen start making them and Canadian Brass stop? Is there any difference? Does anyone have any opinions on them? The reason why I ask is because I've found a used Canadian Brass version for a good price and was wondering what the difference was (if any) and what years they were made. Thanks.
