Straight from our brass (and silver) instrument repair shop, our USED horns are brought back to life...All major dents are removed, joints re-soldered (if needed), patches repaired (if necessary) and the slides reworked. Our horns may be buffed, but all are hand polished to a good shine and are in good playable condition. For the collector who is looking for an instrument; we try to keep the original parts whenever possible; if the playability is good, we feel it should be left to the buyer's discretion to replace parts as desired. We are proud to offer this refurbished instrument for sale. We have tried to describe it as it is, and are happy to answer any questions asked. #22/2016Up for sale is a 1968 FE Olds & Son 'Opera' Tenor Trombone with F Key manufactured in Fullerton, CA. Serial #669xxx. It has slide bore .547/.547, with an 8 1/2" diameter bell flare. It is made of solid nickel silver with a brass valve. There are very few minor dings and some light rippling on the bell, with normal pitting at the grips. There are very few scratches. The slide action is very good and the slide stockings are very good with one tiny wear-through spot on the upper inner tube; with good compression. This horn has a very bright, powerful tone, with a big full sound and has good intonation and nice range. This horn is not lacquered and will need to be polished periodically (we recommend using Weiman METAL Polish).The Olds Opera was the top of the line symphonic trombone; with excellent response across the entire range and soaring sound. This particular Opera has tons of power and is very nice in the higher register. It comes with a mouthpiece and a used case.
