1950 Olds Recording
Trumpet - Los Angeles Model CONDITION AFTER WORK COMPLETE
ORIGINAL CONDITION BEFORE WORK STARTED
This is a nice vintage Olds Recording Trumpet built in 1950 in the Los Angeles plant in California. The Olds company was still at that time making these one at a time until later in the 1950s and 1960s. This trumpet was serviced meaning it was ultrasonically cleaned, all parts disassembled and cleaned, dents/dings removed, valves and slides checked, parts then reassembled and lubricated with premium valve oil and tuning slide lube and finally play tested. Prior to reassembly, the finish was restored to near perfect condition. The trumpet sounds great. The valve action on this horn is also very nice in that the throw on the valves is very short and the valves themselves have a wonderful action. I noticed that different mouthpieces definitely produce a different sound. I tried a couple of old Conn mouthpieces and was not impressed. I then tried an old Olds 3 mouthpiece and the horn came to life. It must have known... SOME MORE PICTURES OF WORK NEAR FINISHED
