Here’s an interesting read about Eldon Benge and Burbank trumpets. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59a6ddc5bebafb8b3f3fd9d9/t/59cee63c59cc681f4acaf0e1/1506731581366/A+Tale+of+Two+Burbanks.pdf

This popular model is very flexible and responsive. 4-3/4” bell. Renowned as a great choice for all types of work.

Considered by professional players to be one of the finest trumpets in the world, the Burbank’s design was engineered more than 50 years ago by Elden Benge, a professional musician and brass maker who was passionate about his craft. Unrelenting attention to detail and sound quality drove him to create an instrument that produces a big sound, superb intonation and easy, quick response in all registers. Now manufactured by Kanstul Musical Instruments, you can be assured that when you purchase a Burbank Trumpet, the quality and the sound is there.

• Hand-hammered brass construction

• Resno-tempered bell for resonance throughout all registers

• First slide thumb throw, third slide finger ring, lead pipe finger hook, third slide stop rod, and Monel pistons with mother of pearl concave finger buttons

• silver plated

The Burbank line offers a trumpet for every playing style. Once you’ve played a Burbank, you’ll understand why we say it “plays like a dream.”

The Burbank Trumpet is different

We strive to replicate the original Burbank Benge Trumpet as closely as possible. The original models made in Burbank were the following: 3X (.460), 5X (.460, balled out at the tail), 3X+ (.464), and The 6X (.468). However, down through the years, circumstances demanded changes in material, tooling, machines, and most importantly, the philosophy of trumpet making technicians.

The Burbank Trumpet has been designed with a straight through valve cluster (i.e. off-center drilled piston holes), a 4-3/4″ bell flair (5-1/4″ on the model 3XS), and a lighter feel in the overall weight.

This is what makes The Burbank Trumpet different!
