I own a Benge 65b trumpet that I bought for $1200 dollars new a couple of years ago. Will come with deluxe case is desired. Has no problems whatsoever. Smooth valves, slides, etc. This pro Benge plays very well and is perfect for all around playing. I used it as a lead horn in jazz and also in regular band. My horn comes with a gold kit for the valve caps, rods, and finger buttons along with the modular valve weight system that conn-selmer sells(go to
http://www.cgconn.com/pdf/brmvw.pdf for more info on the MVW system. As you can see in the pictures, the bottoms caps screw on and off to change the tonal quality of the instrument. I will include the original silver parts with the trumpet as well(valve caps, rods, and finger buttons) .I also had a valve overhaul from Dr. Valve done on this horn this past January. Go to Steve’s website
http://doctorvalve.com/Services.html#whatisVO for more information on what was done to my valves. This Benge will be cleaned and polished one last time before shipping. Email me w/ any questions. If you want pictures, go to
