I am curious as to who plays the Benge LA flugelhorn.......specifically with the 5 bell...... 8)

Hey, I play one of those. I think mine is a number 3 bell - I'll check and get back to you.

Why do you ask?

All the best. Noel.

Hey Noel-
Thanks for the reply......
I have been reading alot about the LA benge flugels and want to learn more about them......Thinkin' about selling the Couesnon to buy an LA Benge with the 5 bell.

Is that the one with the blunderbuss bell?

I've got an L.A. Benge with the #5 bell. I love it. Very nice tone, and intonation is better than most flugels I have played. My horn has a first and a third trigger, so if there are some areas that need pitch adjustment I can use those.

Good luck.

What is the bore size of the Benge flugel with the 5 bell? Also, I am assuming that the bell is one piece.........correct? Thanks for all of the posts so far.......... 8)
