This used 1982 L.A. Benge 5X Bb/A piccolo trumpet is in very good condition and comes with two trumpet-shank leadpipes for B and A tuning, along with the original leather gig bag. We gave it a professional cleaning and precision valve alignment, and about 90% of the original lacquer remains.
It plays well, with solid intonation, excellent valve action, and a comfortable feel. The horn shows minor lacquer loss at contact points and a few other small spots, as well as evidence of a minor repair to the bell flare, but nothing that affects playability. Made during the Los Angeles era, this Benge piccolo is an excellent option for occasional doublers, students, professionals on a budget, or collectors of vintage Benge instruments.
