LA Benge Claude Gordon (CG) With Factory 1st Slide Trigger

This is a great example of a vintage Benge Claude Gordon model, manufactured in approximately 1974, with the somewhat rare first slide trigger. It’s in near mint condition. It would be perfect for a professional, college, or a high school student looking for a great jazz/lead horn. The serial number places it early in the Claude Gordon production run, and the craftsmanship is evident.

• Bore Size: .468 through the valve section, providing excellent flexibility and dynamic range.
• Bell Choke: .464 at the bell stub, offering a balance between power and control, perfect for lead and commercial settings.
• Design Features: This horn embodies the essence of Claude Gordon’s design philosophy. The lightweight bell and larger bore create a unique open feel and projection that players sought in the 1970s.
• Condition: Near mint with all original parts. The only blemish is a small cosmetic mark on the mouthpiece receiver, likely from an attempt to remove a stuck mouthpiece. This has no impact on playability or sound.
• Extras: No case or mouthpiece included. However, a period-correct Benge case from this era can be added for an additional $100.
