I am trying to find some information on Benge 60B trumpets, i.e. bore size, what "level" (student, pro?), and other things like what add-ons might work.
Does anyone have any ides?

The Benge 60B, if I´m not mistaken, is the direct predecessor of the Benge 65B.
Not sure what the differences are, both look identical to me. The 65B is advertised as a "basic professional model", and it´s a pretty solid horn, IMHO. Mine had a very nice sound, good intonation and excellent valves.
"Add-ons"? Curry makes heavy valve caps which fit UMI Benges, CCaps #1, I think. Better check that, though... _________________ All the best

Thanks, Martin! That will give me a good place to start.
I'm using the horn as a section player in a big band. Blows really well, intonation seems good, too.
Anyway, thanks again!
