Benge Piccolo Bb and A TrumpetMade in the LA Plant3 1/2 Inch Bell.420 bore measured on inside of first valve slideGood condition overallExcellent Valve actionSerial Number 42,XXX- from 1983Another trumpet being thinned from my friends collection - Every trumpet player can use a piccolo trumpet and as a trombonist I consider them deadly weapons. Some are more listener friendly than others. Benge piccolo trumpets - especially the ones from the LA plant are among the less deadly with a warmer sweeter sound when played gently by a good player. The individual instrument will NOT make you a good piccolo player but having the right horn will at least give you a good chance. This one is in very good playing condition with absolutely excellent valves. Fast smooth and free with a good compression "pop" when pressed against the pulled slide. Nice thing about pics is that none of them get very much playing time. They tend to sit for long periods in the case. This one has just a few pinpoint dings keeping it from being dent free. It does have some lacquer finish challenges however despite living its life in the original case in a warm dry home. Look at the pictures closely. It is still a good looking trumpet but no longer looks new when examined. From a stage distance it looks fine.I have scoured this horn looking for a model number and cannot find one - I guess it is simply the pro level piccolo trumpet that Benge made in 1983 It does have both the Bb and A leadpipes. Comes with a Bach 7E mouthpiece and the original case.
My friend could make this horn sing. It has many more songs to play. I don't think you can buy a Benge pic any longer after the Steinway conglomerate bought UMI Benge- Kind of sad.Most of the pro level pics are selling for more than $3000 these days - This should be a good chance to get a very good Piccolo trumpet for good value.I will ship well packed to the lower 48 states for $35 and elsewhere for actual cost by US Postal Service. Europe and Japan should expect to pay about $80 for shipping. Australia about $20 more.No Reserve or Buy it Now on this one - Auction will set the price and High Bidder wins it!!!!
