The line included: Bb trumpet, C trumpet, Bb Cornet, Bb/A piccolo trumpet, euphonium, horn, tenor trombone, C tuba, and Bb tuba. The following information is from Spring/Summer 1995 newsletter "Getzen Gazette" The CB instrument line began in 1990 and was originally distributed by Canadian Brass Musical Instrument Co., Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian Brass Enterprises. Effective February 1, 1995, Getzen became the exclusive worldwide distributor. A brochure from CB Musical Instruments describes the horn as: "This full double French Horn has combined a large Kruspe style bell with a Geyer wrap and valve alignment. It provides both a superb high register and carrying power necessary for the orchestra along with the elegant shading of pianissimo needed for the soloist" There was a fixed bell model (CB40) and detachable bell model (CB41), both were made by Vogtlandische Musinkinstrumentenfabrik GmbH of Germany. A friend of mine plays the CB41 and seems to like it fine.
