[TPIN] Benge Trumpets/calipers

[Byron Jones]

I got the cheap ones from Harbor Freight and love them. They come battery 
powered and last a long time.
By the way. Benges that have a CG are dual bore. Basically a custom bell 
(thinner) and a .468 bore, with a .464 "choke" coming out the bell tube.
There were only two bores available in the early days. ML(.460) and L 
(.468), Check out the Benge site that was mentioned. I go there often. By 
the way, if anyone has an old Chicago or Burbank Large Bore for sale, email 
off list.
