[TPIN] "Donald E. Getzen Signature" Trumpet

[Greg Fuess]

Appreciate all the helpful recommendations, and so am sharing the response
from Getzen:

Greg,

This is indeed a DEG instrument and not a Getzen.  As such, I don't have any

information on it.

Brett Getzen

That is not a Getzen Company product.
 
That would be an instrument distributed by DEG Music, DEG Music is not
affiliated with the Getzen Company and Getzen product line.
 
For more informaton the DEG instrument, you can visit their website at

Hope this is helpful.

Donald E Getzen is a brother to the Getzens that own Allied Supply.
Allied made the D.E.G. horns.
All is now under the Getzen umbrella.  They should be able to help you 
with information.

Union Pacific Railmen, a now defunct drum and bugle corps played D.E.G. 
bugles.
I used to play a D.E.G. herald bugle at the Ak-Sar-Ben race track.

I found a ton of stuff on Google.
