Claude Gordon Benge Trumpet from Gary Gordon
Claude Gordon Benge Bb, Serial #20000
Purchased July 2005 from Gary Gordon's widow. Notice the pinky finger hook removed and the third valve slide ring removed and the first valve trigger. Gary had big hands and Zig Kanstul was likely the one that customized this for Claude to give to Gary. I was also told that the serial number being 20,000 could have been something done special for Claude. Gary Gordon was Claude Gordon's son and this was given as a gift. Gary passed away in 1988.
