| Re: Benge trumpet but dont know what it is?
You have a Claude Gordon Benge model. Great horn, very light with a unique bore configuration. You can read about it on Jim Donaldson's Benge info. page. I own one and have grow to enjoy using it. Had it re silvered about 10 years ago and it came back like new except it had a small pin hole in the bell tail. I've since patched this and continue to use it regularly. It takes alot of air support to play but has a great tone. I'd hold on to it if I were you. meauxhorn |
