Comments:	A friend dug up his old Bach Strad ('83) from his basement. The tuning slide is seized. How do I un-seize it? It also has a medium-sized dent near the bell. What would a trumpet like this be worth (ballpark) both as-is and restored?

Comments:	I played an Olds Double French horn for 14 years. I sold it about 10 years ago. It was an excellent instrument that was purchased new in 1966. It was selected for me by a man named Boone Shaw who owned Shaw music with stores in three mid-Missouri towns. He had played horn professionally for several years. Do you have any information concerning Olds French Horns from that era?

Comments:	Also an old Olds fan, I have an Ambassador trumpet and cornet (circa 1957) and a Mendez trumpet. I also have a beautiful Olds C trumpet which is silver plated, though it has no apparent model number. I got it to jam with various people so I wouldn't have to transpose - especially with my brother who plays the piano by ear! I have had the Ambassador trumpet since my school days in the '50s, and it has gone through my two kids as they went through junior and senior high school.
My horns	Several including the three listed above. An couple of Conns of various ages, a Yamaha pro, Bach Strad, Olds C, Wurlitzer cornet, Benge 60B and piccolo, plus a few other odd balls and collectibles including a Frank Artist trumpet. I'm having fun in my retirement collecting and beginning to play a bit again.

My horns	1930 Olds Ambassador Coronet
Editor:	That would be about 1959, not 1930. (1930 horns were in the 1700 to 3300 serial number range) The Ambassador was introduced after WWII and continued to be made until the company closed its doors in 1979.

Comments:	Played an Olds Ambassador (circa '62) though high school and college (Notre Dame Marching Band '76 - 80). Never knew the rich history of the brand - (my folks bought the horn used from my cousin when I was in grade school - PS #4 Yonkers, NY). I'm now researching a new trumpet for my oldest son (10 years old and looking to upgrade from the old man's horn) and came across your site. Very informative - thanks!

My horns	I've repaired more Olds horns than I can ever count. Overall, a good product. But, whoever designed the 3 point bell/valve/leadpipe brace for trumpets and cornets must have been drunk at the time!!! Also, I wonder why they soft soldered the waterkeys to the hinge tube??? I must have silver soldered a million of them in the last 24 years.

Comments:	I enjoyed your site. I agree there is a mystique about the Olds horns. For me the mystique began with a teacher whose playing I admired when I attended summer music camps while in high school. He was enthusiastic about the Olds Recording. I now own an Olds Recording that I like very, very much. I own two newer horns--a Bach and a Callet--but I find I don't pick them up and play them as much as I play the Olds and the Selmer K-Modified (that I played in college in the late 1960's). I also own an Olds Fluegel that produces the loveliest tone I have heard on a Fluegel. Viewing the pictures of the Olds line-up has been a treat. I hope I get a chance to try a Super--

Comments:	Finally, I have found a website dedicated to Olds trumpets! This web site is by far the best for trumpets! I own a 1969 Ambassador given to me by my uncle. I wouldn't give it up for anything. I am currently in my senior year with the Kalani H.S. Falcon Band. I played the trumpet for 8 years and have used the Ambassedor for 6. I agree with the catalog when it said that it had ruggedness and comfortable when holding. I march with it all the time and it has never failed me once! Anyway, geat web site and keep up the good work!

I now play my 6310Z with an Olds 7C mpce--it has a very nice tone, is as easy to blow through as a new Bach 7C, and makes the Yamaha sound more like a flugelhorn.

Comments:	I love your website! Around 1962 Mom bought me a new Olds Recording trumpet - $25 down and $25/mo from her grocery money - was I ever proud of that horn! I played it exclusively for almost 30 years all through college and as an active adult amateur before finally switching to a Bach Strad. The valves have never been worked on but their action is still the best I've felt. My only gripe was rough tone in the lowest notes - F# at the bottom of the natural range was particularly difficult to sound cleanly. I had my Recording refinished about 1972 but, alas, it has darkened again and I hesitate to have it redone since some definition was lost in the fancy bell engraving the first time. When this horn is in prime condition it's a thing of beauty with a striking tri-color pattern highlighted by the lovely rose brass bell & pipe. Combine these with the forward set piston assembly, the offset middle valve, the spring action 3rd valve trigger (pull ring in to extend slide rather than push out) and the elegant side mounted spit valve lever on the tuning slide, and you have an instrument that is truly unique, even to the rest of the Olds line. I've been considering selling this horn but I think I just convinced myself to keep it (with a nudge from Olds Central-inspired nostalgia).

Comments:	Thanks for helping me date my trombones. Still have both from High School '80-'83. After reading the history I hated that I used my Super for marching band. Liked it so much I didn't use my silver F trigger Super Star much. My Super has a silver band around bell with FE Olds & Son, Super Olds, Los Angeles engraved. Is this typical of all super models? Bell has been re-lacquered. Does this lessen value? By your data I place my super around Nov, 1953 & my silver super star around spring 1974. Thanks again.

John Wilbraham, the great English trumpeter who pioneered using the piccolo here, chose it on my behalf when I was studying with him in about 1984. For me, the horn still rates with anything else I have blown. Thank you very much for all your research.

Comments:	I bought an F. E. Olds Recording trumpet serial # 127770 (1939 ?) at a country auction in about 1986. It's been well used and there is normal wear of both lacquer and plating but it's in perfect shape otherwise. The valves are gummy as I don't play it and have not had it looked at. It has the offset second valve and bits of mother of pearl on the slides. It also has a tuning slide. It came comeplete with mouthpiece and case. What do you think I paid for it? There was only one other person at the auction who knew anything about the horn and he left before it was auctioned off.

Comments:	Alan & I played 4 years together at NCSU. We were in the band at courtside when NCSU won the NCAA basketball championship in 1974. Good times. Alan had great range and technique. He was the 2nd best trumpeter at NCSU!!
