1955 Olds Los Angeles Olds Super Model Trumpet
Check out this beautiful looking Olds Super Trumpet in Raw Brass! These are some of the most amazing and underrated vintage horns on the market in our opinion. The Olds trumpets constructed in the 1950’s in particular are notoriously popular with Jazz musicians and are still highly sought after today.
This trumpet is in great condition especially for a 69 year old horn! It does show a few signs of use and restoration, there are a few minor pings around the bell stem and a slight crease on the bell flare. there is also one small dent on the leadpipe of this instrument (see pictures for details). We believe the valves may have been rebuilt at some point as the compression is excellent on this horn. The valves move very smoothly and slides all work great. Beyond those cosmetic blemishes this horn is in great shape. Our shop tech Kyle did a wonderful job of making sure this instrument is in top working order and it plays wonderfully!
Don't miss an opportunity to grab an amazing vintage horn for an amazing price!
From Olds central:
"The playing characteristic of an OldsSuper, particularly from the 50’s and 60’s is really unique: they play like a fireman’s hose on full as opposed to a car wash jet spray- the tone is the densest I’ve ever heard on any model of any make of horn I’ve played to date. But I say fireman’s hose as opposed to garden hose because it IS a big, hugely projecting sound. The ONLY reason this unbelievable model of horn is not revered far and wide TODAY like the Recording is, in my opinion, because the horn doesn’t produce a very “wide” or “fat” sound. But hear me good, brothers and sisters, it aint no small sound that the Super produces. In fact it’s bigger than the sound of the average trumpet, but it stands far apart from the new ones in that it’s tone is as thick and dense as iron. If you were painting a wall with the sound of a 50’s or 60’s Super versus most trumpets, you would only need one coat. The other aspect of this incredible horn is that it plays solid as a rock all over the scale, particularly on up past high C, with NO indication that you’re entering the “next zone”. Not to say it plays all by itself; I have to be in good shape to take the Supers up there, but when I do, they are dead center, tuning wise and tonewise. Moreso than any other horn I’ve played to date. John Lynch, developer of the Asymmetric mouthpiece, has said that the Super plays more centered above high C than perhaps any other horn ever made. It’s like the road gets steeper up there, but it’s the same exact road in every aspect of its pavement. That’s the 50’s and 60’s Super. It is an absolute solid powerhouse."

Just LOVE those old Olds horns!!

I have a 1955 Super as well, along with a 1949 Super cornet. Both horns sound great. Olds really knew how to build them!

I have a 63 super and a 66 super..luv em both and as a 70 y.o. Playing big band and salsa gigs I really appreciate the fast response and ease of play…I also get a nice resistance from the late bell flare but not stuffy at all..would say my Bachs which I played during my orchestral and broadway show days has a slightly broader sound, but the super is much easier for me and that’s my story.
