I am considering purchasing a Getzen Eterna 895 flugelhorn manufactured in 71/72. It's in good shape, but I have no idea what a reasonable price would be. Any suggestions?

Have you checked Amazon, eBay and other web sites? There's a sticky thread about internet dealers, if you need any guidance. https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77366

Compare the prices and conditions of the horns you can find to the one you're considering. Prices float. Free Market and all that rot.

Obviously condition is the most important determinant for price. I would expect that $1,000 should be a ballpark figure.

Also these early Getzen flugels had a leadpipe with a built in receiver, so that only short shank mouthpieces work. You can purchase a standard leadpipe, if that is an issue.
