Unique 1964 Olds Mendez Professional Trumpet. The Mendez was the flagship trumpet for Olds in 1964. This is trumpet that has a focused sound with a brilliant lively warmth. The blow is nice, the valves are fast and quick and both the first and third triggers are smooth and functional. In the description it is listed as unique. All three valves are original with matching serial numbers to the trumpet. The 2nd and 3rd valve markings were incorrectly marked at the factory. In other words, the valve marked number 3 is actually the valve that should be in the number two casing. The valve marked number two goes in the third valve casing. I have owned many vintage Olds trumpets and I have never come across a factory mistake like this. Works great , just marked wrong from the factory. Included is the original case. For the most part, the case is in good condition. The right latch mechanism is missing the latch release button. It requires a paper clip and manual assistance to open. The overall cosmetic condition is above average for it age. There are no large dents, most of the lacquer is intact and it is certainly a vintage trumpet you can feel good about taking out of the case. Cosmetic blemishes include light surface scratches, pings, spots of missing lacquer and normal wear.
