Olds and Son and made at their Los Angeles, California plant.   This instrument is from the early 1950's.   It has been completely refurbished and is better than new.   Completely cleaned and refurbished before silver plating and application of the gold wash to the bell.    This is a beautiful instrument but more importantly, this is a professional model and produces an incredibly rich yet mellow sound.    This is one of the best instruments I have ever played.     I am sad to have to sell it, but I owe school for my final semester so I have to sell off some of my near and dear treasures.If you are looking for a new trumpet or cornet, please consider buying this professional model before you spend the same amount for a student or beginner model.   Professional models are easier to play and they sound a lot better.   This one has only been handled with white gloves since the silver plating.Comes with new ProTech case and new mouthpiece.You can't go wrong buying this instrument.   Oh, almost forget, this a Studio model.    Look at the photos to see the quality of this instrument.    Get a professional model for the price of a student model and own a legendary F.
