Olds Recording Los Angeles CA Vintage. Olds Trombone Serial Number 56707. Was made prior to 1953 at the Los Angeles, CA factory, prior to the move to Fullerton. Olds players and collectors are particularly fond of L.A,. Era Make. Has 8" gold brass bell with fancy engraving. Dual Bore Slide .495-.510, lighweight brass. Most of the lacquer is off this trombone due to it's age and also a lot of use. The bell section is the best part- has never had major damage and is perfectly straight. There is a lot of nickel silver on this model, neck, tuning slide, which helps offset the typical darkness in color that you get with a gold or rose brass bell. The handslide is ok and definitely plays nice, but it is not a 10/10 is not perfect, a ding was removed about mid way on the top outer, and there is a small ding on the inner, that's about. Minor plating loss in a few areas at the bottom of the inners. I have definiteyly seen a lot worse. The good news is that everything on this horn is original and it stilll plays and sounds great. Would be a fantastic jazz horn for anyone on a budget, even really good for a student that wants to play on something professional level and vintage. This one of the most popular models that Olds ever made prior to their closing in the late 1970's. We did full shop service, including chemical bath. Includes non-original coffin style case, similar to a King 3B case.
