Hello, anyone have any leads on a replacement leadpipe for a Claude Gordon Benge? I’ve searched around but haven’t come up with much.

Thanks!

Reach out to Jim Becker of Osmun Music, or to J. Landress Brass. They should be able to offer a replacement.

More than likely, B.A.C owns the mandrel for the Burbank CG that was produced by Kanstul. I do not know if it is the actual Benge mandrel, or a replacement, but the two trumpets I've played that had that lead pipe played wonderfully. One was a Burbank, the other was a reconditioned Benge. Frankly, both of these horns were much better trumpets than any of the original Benge CGs that I've played. So, if it were me looking, I wouldn't hesitate to ask B.A.C. if they could supply one.

There is one reason that I practice: to be ready at the downbeat when the final trumpet sounds.
