[TPIN] BENGE QUESTION

[Patrick Olguin]

Joe knows what he's talking about... I've read his dissertation on Benge ;). 
The CG (and I love my CG) also has a thinner bell (0.017) than the other
Benges, which are already very light.  If you look at the bell, it dents. 
OTOH, dents are easily pushed out with a fingertip.

Ken - CG Benges are so light, they really don't even make a good door stop or
paperweight, so you should send that horn to me for proper disposal.
