Product Description
Early 1960s Olds Recording Trumpet
Check out this awesome Olds Recording trumpet! This horn was restored by Charlie Melk and it looks fantastic! Charlie is well known in the trumpet community as making some of the finest trumpets available to players. This one has seen some use since then. A few minor scratches and a few very minor pings appear on the bell flare. Beyond this it looks great and plays very well! The slides move freely and the valve move smoothly! The valves would benefit from a thicker oil, we recommend BERP bio # 3 or Ultrapure Classic
From Olds Loyalist:

It offers well balanced playing comfort with its exclusive off-set middle valve and forward positioned valve cluster.
