The initial design idea behind the Grizzly was to design a trumpet that gave the player a little bit more to lean on than the Personal model. The bell design of the Personal makes it feel much larger (to many players) than it’s actual ML bore. I started with measurements of lots of my favorite trumpets and kept coming back to many of the old Benge designs.. some of my favorite. I always loved the CG benge, but when I would played on them, in the end they always felt just a little too big for me. I always loved the feel and of course the undeniable Benge sound of the instruments. I wondered how it would feel if I made a similar design in a medium large bore with one of my signature copper bells and a similar unique bell tail design that the CG benge had…. and we end up with the Del Quadro Grizzly.
