1966 Olds Ambassador NA10M trumpet, great proven player, fully disassembled and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Valve ports were precisely aligned with horn ports using premium Valentino quiet pads and corks via the borescope method. All pads and corks replaced with new premium parts. All caps and buttons thread easily and seat fully without drama. Excellent original condition with very minor lacquer loss on leadpipe and finger hook. This appears to be a lightly used, well maintained 59 year old “closet queen”. This instrument plays very well with good intonation from pedal tones up through High C, my upper range. It has a rich, full tone as expected from Olds. It is efficient with excellent response. It is an excellent student grade instrument that is far superior to today’s imported offerings costing 3 or 4 times as much. This would be a great choice for a student, returning player or as a backup horn for a professional. Includes case and Getzen 7C mouthpiece in excellent condition. Pictures tell the story, ask any questions.
