Olds Super & Recording Trumpets & Cornets! GREAT Vintage Horns! :)

Items For Sale: www.trumpether...
Four wonderful vintage horns are played here, each with two mouthpieces; Olds Supers, both trumpet and cornet, and Olds Recordings...Again - both trumpet and cornet. The trumpets are more popular today by far, I believe, but I'd let both trumpets go before I'd let the cornets get away. Personally, I think these cornets models are two of the very best cornets available today. I play the trumpets first with a medium-shallow mouthpiece, the GR64MS, then with a lovely Trent Austin Trumpet-Flugel mouthpiece. The cornets are played first with a GR63#2 cornet mouthpiece, then with Mark Curry's outstanding VC (Vintage Cornet mouthpiece). Enjoy! :)

Jonathan is quite a resource for the trumpet world. he does a wide range of reviews of trumpets without judgment and gives good information. nice job!

Thank you very much! Very kind of you to comment. :)

I would have to agree that the Super Cornet is just a joy to play. And I have a similar collections of LA Olds trumpets and cornets, and if I had to keep just one for playing, my '47 Super would be it. I think the brass tone ring adds some mojo as well. :)

Thanks for sharing. I feel sorry for those who have not had the joy of owning and playing nice vintage Olds horns. :)

@MrFuentesa 0 seconds ago I am a beginner learning to play a 1960s OLDS cornet. OLDS cornet sounds seem more trombone-like sound. Still having difficulty with correct embouchure. I get tired after a little practice and then air sound comes out. Lots of physical on lips, teeth, etc. Does this seem correct? and normal? Thanks, Mr. Angelo@@JonathanMilam1

Man, I love that piece 9:10. very nice. not sure if you got good room dynamics there but nice job! Really made that cornet sing!

[@JonathanMilam1]

I use a nice mic and a little mixer; not to distort but to add a bit of reverb, like we would have (hopefully) if we were playing in a large concert hall. That Olds Super Cornet, in the 9:10+ clip, is a superb horn. I never want to be without one of these in my horns. :) Again - thanks for commenting. :)

Winner of this week's mouthpiece safari (from a listener's perspective) is.......the Super cornet with the Curry VC!

[@JonathanMilam1]

Aaron - cute. :) I do like Curry's VC. Sweet, sweet mouthpiece. :) Thanks for commenting!

[@MrFuentesa]

I am a beginner player learning to play a 1960s cornet. But having difficulty with correct embouchure to get a good sound. Any tips or suggestions to learn quicker. Thanks Mr. Ángelo

It takes time to get the muscles working together for an embouchure, or chop setup. Here's a video from a truly excellent player, lots of good info here. The guy doing this video is the Principal Trumpet of a large US symphony. When he begins discussing his warm up, pay close attention, 'buzz' your lips along with him... It's a wonderful way to beging warming up and achieving good, proper lip muscles. This may help you as much or more than any info you can find. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHLNmZ5ng9OIi5o And this channel has the accompaniment for you to buzz to.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGe1c3qJfNF6Z6c
