This Getzen 3062AFR Bass Trombone is about as close to brand new as a pre-owned instrument can get. Owned by an adult player and used only a handful of times, it never left the house and remains in pristine condition. The lacquer is 100% original and flawless, with no wear, dents, or prior repairs. It looks, feels, and plays like new—without the new price tag.
Handmade in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, the 3062AFR is the flagship bass model in Getzen’s professional lineup. It features a 9.5" rose brass bell that produces a massive, dark, and resonant sound suitable for orchestra, concert band, or jazz ensemble. The independent axial flow (Thayer-style) valves provide smooth, free-blowing response in Bb/F/Gb/D, while the dual bore .562"/.578" handslide offers the perfect balance of depth and clarity. This instrument includes one removable leadpipe, and while a mouthpiece is not provided, it comes with its original factory case for safe transport and storage.
If purchased new today, a 3062AFR typically sells in the $6,400–$7,000 range (2025 pricing). Here you have the opportunity to own a virtually unplayed example at a significant savings. Whether you need a powerful orchestral bass or an all-around horn that can handle anything, this 3062AFR delivers.
How does the 3062AFR compare to Edwards bass trombones?
The 3062AFR shares many design elements with Edwards, as both are made in Wisconsin and benefit from the same valve technology. The 3062AFR is considered one of the most reliable, high-value pro bass trombones available.
Is this trombone suitable for orchestra as well as jazz or commercial playing?
Yes. The rose brass bell provides a dark, broad orchestral tone, but the horn also has enough projection and versatility to cut through in big band and commercial settings.
Why choose this pre-owned model over buying new?
This particular horn is essentially unplayed and free of wear, yet priced well below new retail. It offers professional quality and factory-fresh condition at a significant savings.
