A little fame in the family

I called my father to wish him a happy birthday today, he was happy to tell me about the trumpet we all chipped in to buy. I didn't really know what kind of trumpet he was getting, but it turns out it was a rare 'Benge' trumpet, hand made, and played by a family friend, Charlier Turner, who was the first chair trumpet for Frank Sinatra. His trumpet is listed here:

That's so neat! wow, so does your dad play it or does he have it in a glass case so nobody can touch the famous trumpet? That is way cool.
