Vintage Olds Studio Trombone – Refurbished, Custom Brushed Finish
This instrument has been professionally serviced including: a chemical bath to remove calcium deposits, large dent removal, inspection of all joints, and slide alignment. The dual-bore slide is “very good”, I’d rate the slide as 8.5 - 9 out of 10.
- of the original lacquer has been removed and a brushed finish has been hand-applied. The exterior of the two-tone bell and handslide are unlacquered so you will occasionally need to polish it. There are a few very small dings and scratches throughout the horn, none of which will affect the playing. All new corks, felts, and waterkey spring.
The instrument has been play-tested and has a dark rich tone with great resonance. A wonderfully responsive jazz horn.
Serial number 38XXX, which dates it to 1949-50. The bell and slide have matching serial numbers.
This is a terrific instrument at a great price. I am a band director who also has a small repair shop. I am a professional member of NAPBIRT (National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians) and personally do all the work on the instruments I recondition and sell.
