This site is
finally being
revised!
Due to a car accident
and the lack of High
Speed Internet in my
area this site has gone
a bit stagnant. Please
bare with me as I finally
start to update it!  
Thanks!

Dan

Updated "Order info"
for Getzen.  Sorry it's
taken so long Mary.
This site was created and is maintained by Dan Erikson, former
Wisconsin State Director for Bugles Across America.  The intent
of this site is to thank Tom Getzen for building a wonderful
instrument  to honor our Veteran's.  I have borrowed images
and information from the Getzen web site in an effort to help
answer any questions you may have about these fine horns!

The Getzen Company continues to support those who honor
our nations Veterans with a quality instrument for Taps duties.
Civilian and military players all over this great nation and abroad
are using the American Heritage Field Trumpet to honor those
who have served!
The above picture shows me at a Veterans Day Ceremony at the State
Cemetery in Union Grove WI. It was plenty windy and chilly!

The attached WAV file is me sounding Taps in the Wisconsin Capital Rotunda.
 It has not been cleaned up or altared in any way. I think you can hear just how
nice one of these horns can sound with this Camcorder recording.
