Olds Ambassador Trumpet

Description

The Olds Ambassador is a iconic vintage student model horn that has been beloved by beginners and pros alike for close to a century.

This quintessential vintage model was played by legends of the trumpet such as Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Roy Hargrove, Clark Terry, and many more, the list really does go on!

Having been first made in 1940s, and last made when the company stopped manufacturing at the end of the 70s, Olds had plenty of time to craft a horn that since the decades have passed, still competes with modern day student and intermediate horns.
This horn was made in 1966, as per serial number dating.

The features of this horn align with that of most student level instruments, with a med-large bore (.460) and a standard size bell.
The finish is a lacquered brass, with very little scratches or blemishes throughout the horn.

This Ambassador does not come with its original case, but rather a Torpedo case which is in great condition, a mouthpiece is also not included with the instrument.
