Here's  a recent acquisition the shop.   Please note the non-original  bottom caps.No red rot (which is a huge thing for Benge trumpets). Earlier LA  models stamped the bell model on the ferrule near the valve casing and then shortly after this horn's production they started stamping on the Bell logo.Great playing horn with a very versatile horn and sound palette.  Most 5 bell Benges for me tend to be a bit dull but this horn really sings in all registers and dynamic levels.  Intonation for me is also better than the 3 bell models.There is some silver wear as pictured but we have cleaned and aligned the horn.  It's a solid horn and deserves to be played!No case or mouthpiece included in this sale.Please take a look at our photos for a closer look at the condition of this horn!Please check out all of the auctions here at Austin Custom Brass!   Read below for my shop terms (prior to bidding please)
