This horn is in pristine and "as new" condition. The gleaming silverplating is 100%. There is a little tarnish on the spit valve. But it is 34 years old. The trumpet and case appear to have been in a time capsule. It's seen very little action, if any. All inside bores are smooth and "as new". When you see this horn, you'll agree that the exceptional condition and the CG designation make this a very desireable horn. The Benge CG is legendary for lead trumpet players and for sizzling high notes. An interesting note about this particular trumpet is that the horn's serial number is also embossed on each actual valve (see pics)...unusual. This horn will please the discriminating player. You'll not be disappointed. Correct case and  Benge 7C mpc included. Place a Bid!
