Description

  Straight from our brass (and silver) instrument repair shop, our USED horns are brought back to life...All major dents are removed, joints re-soldered (if needed), patches repaired (if necessary) and the slides reworked.  Our horns may be buffed, but all are hand polished to a good shine and are in good playable condition. For the collector who is looking for an instrument; we try to keep the original parts whenever possible; if the playability is good, we feel it should be left to the buyer's discretion to replace parts as desired.  We are proud to offer this refurbished instrument for sale. We have tried to describe it as it is, and have shown the condition in the pictures provided. We are happy to answer any questions asked.   #60/2017Up for sale is a 1947 FE Olds and Son Super Professional Tenor Trombone, manufactured in Los Angeles, Calif. U.S.A. The Olds Super was produced from 1.  Early versions had a lightweight red brass bell with rest being nickel silver. The serial number on this horn is #234xx, with matching serial numbers on bell and slide.  It is made of red brass, solid nickel silver and yellow brass. The bell material is bell bronze or red brass and has the requisite 5/8" silver tone/krantz around the bell rim. Dual slide bore .485/.500, with a 7.25" diameter bell flare. There are various waves, small dinks and scratching throughout and light pitting at the grips, but still is a nice example of a vintage Super.   The Super model has the fluted slide tubes.  The slide action is very good and there is excellent compression. The stockings have low wear with only a couple of flakes near the ends.The horn comes with a used worn case and used mouthpiece (may not be the one pictured). This instrument is not lacquered; therefore, this instrument may have to be polished periodically (we recommend using Weiman METAL Polish). This is a great all-around horn and does everything well.  It is especially at home as a lead jazz horn.  This horn slots very well, has great intonation and good strong power.  It can be played bright and direct or be played alternatively with beautiful soft tones as well. Thanks for looking and check out our other horns!Please note:  We accept Domestic returns within two weeks; Buyer pays return shipping. **Please note: if choosing FedEx for shipping, please provide physical address, not PO Box.
