Classic 1954 Olds Recording Trumpet
Check out this awesome Olds Recording trumpet we've just received! This horn does show some cosmetic blemishing. There is some general scratching around the body of the horn.
This horn is from the classic 1954 era... As you can see it's in good shape physically but has some obvious signs of wear. The mouthpipe might have been replaced a long time ago as the lacquer pattern is different. This horn also might have been relacquered but I'm not 100% sure. This horn plays very well with a thicker valve oil but would be a great candidate for a rebuild if you want to make it your primary player. A first valve slide ring was added and aids in the intonation. The third valve trigger has been removed and a normal slide adjuster added.
It does have numerous small dings and pings from usage over the years.
This horn does come with the original case in fair-good condition. We'll ship outside of the case for safety.
From Olds Loyalist:
"The Olds R-10 Recording Trumpet was designed to let the advanced musician feel and play his best.

The third slide intonation trigger features fast, easy action. And VT Vaives wth smooln valox guides
