Description

I was at the BENGE Anaheim Plant in 1979 when this horn was built.  One of my al time favorite horns. Very rare and hard to get.  I remember Zig had just designed or was in the process of design when I started at Benge.

Joe Lintz (RIP) was shop foreman, Lou Duda worked in mounting, John Duda made bells, and two of the Kanstul Sons were employed there as well.  This horn is a large Bore (.468) with 3 Shepherds Crooks.  It is free blowing with a gorgeous tone.  I like this horn so much I still have my original from that era.  I took my horn all over Europe to Busk when I worked cruise ships and would take vacations.  This comes with the original case. No Mouthpiece.

Recent Bob Reeves precision valve alignment.  It is a beautiful and a player!
