From Benge 1990 Catalog:

"The demands of today's artists are greater than ever. Players must be versatile, able to perform equally well in the orchestra pit, the recording studio or the club. The instrument they use must be all purpose. The Benge 90 Series was designed for such performances. Superbly balanced, the rich, warm sound owes much to the careful tempering each instrument receives during construction. And the specially designed leadpipe and bell tapers unique to each bore size assure uniform response. One-piece, hand hammered bells and precision fitted monel pistons are standard Benge features, and the final finish is of a level normally reserved for fine jewelry.

The Benge 90B trumpet is the standard model chosen for its versatility and full, centered tone at all dynamic levels."

 

This horn came to us in need of some work. Our brass tech had to replace the brace connecting the bell to the mouthpiece receiver and the pull knob on the 3rd valve slide. After that the horn was given a full ultrasonic cleaning, was reassembled and lubricated, and given a final playtest where it was found to be in great playing condition.
