Awesome trumpet! Your "Stardust" brings back memories of listening to the late Chuck Cecil's "Swinging Years" on my Dad's old mini-transistor radio on a weekend night in bed in the 80s. I was born in the wrong era.

You really make these trumpets pop and shine with your amazing musicality and range. There is no better review of a brass instrument than this.

That horn just sings, it really lights up nice. In the 70’s and 80’s everyone played Benge trumpets.

I LOVED hearing this, really cool, Trent!

I bought my Benge CG new in 1978 and it's still my primary horn.

time for a valve rebuild!!

Beautiful sound

[@austincustom]

Thanks for listening

The LA CG Benge is the standard. I really believe you gotta play that horn for a while to understand how the other ones compare then pick what works for you. This horn takes the tension out of playing.

Trent the CG model has a reduction bore size at the base of the bell going into 1st valve. Do you know what the bore size is at the bell?

Price

[@austincustom]

it's a shame there's not a link in the description or a pinned comment with a link.

Q, the weight on your web page says 14lb. that seems too heavy. usually about 32oz.

[@austincustom]

@@sooty33 if you scroll down, you'll see that the weight is the shipping weight 😁

[@austincustom]

@@sooty33 but I'm assuming you didn't scroll to the bottom

[@austincustom]

"Also note weight indicated in the ad is shipping weight not actual weight of instrument." But thanks for trying to correct us I probably would have mentioned on the video it was 14 lbs ;-)
