I was innocently reading thru todays threads when...

I have soooo many memories of my own 5X. I wish I'd been able to keep it.





It's been a few weeks since I played the Benge 5X that I bought new in '71 with hard earned college student money. My practice session plan for today didn't include the Benge, but...something came over me...I couldn't help myself!



The thrill of this horn never goes away. It was the only Bb that I had for a very long time, decades. I used it for everything and found a way to make it fit in with the horns that my colleagues played.

Bill and Brian, I understand where your thoughts are!

It's a Beautiful Day in the neighbourhood!

Mike

Agreed, Mike! I have a Burbank 5x (along with several other Benges) that are very unique in their own
"personalities"...So much fun to play and I don't feel badly about being fickle either!

Sometimes that's not such a good idea.
