This is a vintage Benge trumpet from back when they were hand made in Los Angeles. It has a number 3 bell and a .464 MLP (medium large plus) bore. The slightly larger bore gives less resistance when playing, giving a full, brilliant tone to power through big band licks or really sing in a classical ensemble. All of the valves and slides move freely. This horn has been cared for really well over its lifetime. Cosmetically the horn is in great shape as well. The silver finish still shines and hasn't worn through anywhere on the horn. There are a few small scratches and pinpoint dings but nothing that affects the tone or playability. Still has the original mother of pearl finger buttons. I'm including the original Benge hardshell case, which is fully functional if slightly scuffed up. I'll also throw in two mouthpieces, a Bach 1-1/2 C and a Bach 10-1/2C, both show some signs of wear but no dents or anything that affects playability or tone. Finally I'll include a Jo-Ral copper harmon mute excellent condition. This is a really nice $80 mute but it sounds so much better with this horn than any of my others it would be a shame to separate them. This is a great horn that deserves someone who can play it more than I do.
