Early LA Benge 3X+ in Lacquer Finish

Here we have a polished lacquer Benge 3X+ (.464) trumpet from the early 1970s. The horn is in excellent condition overall. It does have some wear on the 2nd and 3rd valves which is very common on horns from this period. The compression is still very good. The pistons work great with valve oil that is made for vintage trumpets.

I've included some vintage Benge ads so you can see how they describe the 3X+ and other models. One ad describes the 3X+ like this:

Free blowing with large full sound. Popular among players whose work requires versatility and finesse.
