Olds

Super Bb Vintage Olds trumpet, made in Fullerton, California.  Super  model, serial 640xxx.  All brass with nickel trim, lacquer.  Two-piece nickel and brass valve casings, brass bell with nickel kranz (garland) with engraving that says, "Super Olds made by F.E. Olds & Son. Fullerton, California".  No dents, some evidence of repair to bell stem, some lacquer loss, lacquer is still about 80-90%.  Adjustable third slide ring, no first slide saddle, lightweight bracing.  Includes very unusual case, a vintage plastic businessman's briefcase that says Olds near the handle, in brown with chrome trim.  No one at the board meeting will know you have a trumpet in the case.  Think of the extra respect you'll demand.

Used, B $700
 Bach herald piccolo Bb/A Rare herald piccolo trumpet with tuneable bell, includes A crook, lacquered, with case.  Lacquer is worn, but mostly intact, has a beautiful vintage look.  Don't worry about the "herald" part of this, just take it to any piccolo gig and play out. Would make an excellent studio horn.  Might be a candidate for a relacquer, but we like the look as is.  Serial 43720.  Includes original case.  Pistons and slides move freely ands are in excellent condition.

 Besson flugel Bb  Early 1900's Besson flugel, silver plate, externally restored to mint conditionby Robb Stewart, and plated by Kanstul.  Includes Kanstul third slide trigger, and Protec trumpet/flugel case.  Approx. .423" bore.  As is, this is a collector's instrument, ad is beautiful.  However, the pistons are worn.  To become a player's horn, it needs a piston re-plating and honing at Anderson, probably at a cost of $500-600.   used A+ looks, C- playing, see notes make offer

Bach

C-ML-239 C Bach C trumpet with several modifications that make it an excellent playing horn.  25H Herseth pipe, reverse tuning slide, tuneable bell, medium large bore, serial 35164.  First slide trigger has been removed, body is silver plate, with raw brass bell (silver was stripped minus the engraving) and leadpipe, there is some wear in the plating.  We're thinking of having a new first slide saddle added, and also might have the body silver plated, leaving a raw brass bell for that jobbing-horn look.  We can customize it as you like, or with a bit of polish, it's ready to go now.
