Olds Super Trombone - $600 (West Mifflin, PA)

condition: good
make / manufacturer: Olds
model name / number: Super
Olds Super Professional Trombone
The Olds Super is renowned for its "dark" (un-bright) timbre, imparted through its small bore (0.485 - 0.500"), heavy nickel/nickel bronze alloy, and patented "Tone Band" around the bell to cut down on overtones.
Matching serial number of 25923 puts this horn from 1947. There is noticeable wear on the stockings, however it has very good slide action, and plays excellent. The lacquer on the outside of the rose bronze bell section was stripped, both because that improves the sound and because the factory lacquer was in poor shape. Lacquer inside the bell is intact. Tuning slide works as expected. Spit valve does not leak.
The original case is in fair condition - visibly worn but solid with all latches working properly. Includes original lyre and a cleaning brush. Does not include a (small bore) mouthpiece.
Cash in hand only please. I can usually meet where convenient.
