Trevor,

I have never seen or played one. I used to know a guy who lived in Colorado that was as big a Benge fanatic as I was that played one.
He was in his late 50's and found the medium bore more to his liking.
He said it had a nice sound that blended well with the other trumpets in his community band & was easier to play then a ML bore.

I have friend here in Atlanta that bought a Medium Bore Bach from Rayburns Music in Boston which I have played. it plays great. He has a couple other Bachs and the Medium Bore Bach is the easiest to play. the sound is definitely big enough and it is not tight at all.

I have played pretty much every other Benge model and I always wanted to play a 1X. There was one on ebay a few weeks ago that, I don't believe sold. I didn't have the funds at that time. Unfortunately, the seller never relisted it.

Mike
