Benge Claude Gordon - Brushed Finish

This is a beautiful refinished LA Benge Claude Gordon (SN 39375). Finished in a gorgeous brushed finish with gold lacquer. It also has a set of Taylor rings. The pistons are in excellent condition with great compression and brass valve guides. Has some surface imperfections typical of a vintage instrument (see photos). The engraving is crisp and sharp. It has new felts and corks.

And the most important thing... it is super fun to play! It has the typical Benge Claude Gordon sound. It's perfect for lead and commercial playing. If you play in a big band, dance band, studio, church, marching band, jazz band, rock/pop band, you won't be disappointed in this trumpet.

I've included some early Benge ads which shows how Benge described this (and other) models.

It does not come with a case but will be packed securely for shipment.
