 | Is it Benge as in 'binj' or as in 'bing' Just wondering... Is Benge pronounced with a hard G (J) sound as in "cringe" or with a soft G as in "ping"? |

 | I've never pronounced it with an 'i' sound - am I wrong? I have always pronounced it "benj", like Benji without the 'i'.

 ).Benge has a soft g sound - 'Benj' is correct.

| My father, who knew Mr. Benge, told me he pronounced it to him in the German way... Ben-ge as in Por-she two separate syllables. Ben geh with a hard G on the geh. But is it important? -cw-

 And no, it's not important... I had been pronouncing it like 'Bing' Crosby and the local horn shop guys were talking about 'Benj' so I was just curious. Next time I'm there I'll ask David if I can play that 'BenGay' trumpet and see how he reacts | |
