URBAN LEGENDS being what they are, just that-LEGENDS, all I can say is WOW!!! Let's just say my father got hold of a 1947(Eldon use to stamp the date on the bell back then seeings how everything he made was one of a kind) Chicago Benge that had, are you ready for this, NEVER BEEN PLAYED!!!
:P 8) This is a fortunate thing for the brass playing community because my father know's what to do with a tapered tube and how to make it RESONATE. So now if you want a VINTAGE Chicago Benge you don't have to go looking in old attics hoping to find one that's still playable. All you have to do is give me a call, as I have them in stock, and you can have a "free trial run" with one.
To The Vintage Benge's-May they rest in peace now that we have the Kanstul Chicago's
