This is a really nice and sweet playing flugelhorn made in 1977, when Olds for a couple of years tried to reestablish themselves as a top quality maker with a much higher degree of quality control than they had during the first half of the 70's. Unfortunately instruments became too expensive due to that attention to detail and so came the end of the classic Olds company in 1979. What I want to say is - of course - that this is a very well made horn!Soft, nice and comfortable sound. In my opinion, a joy to play. It is not like new, but still beautiful and valves work great! Intonation... I have not experienced any intonation difficulties using mouthpieces with short shanks like for example Denis Wick mouthpieces. As I said, a joy to play in every aspect, at least for me and my personal setup. The original case is included as well as an Olds 7A mouthpiece. Worldwide free shipping, payment by bank transfer (if in EU) or paypal.
