This F.E. Olds Super trumpet was produced in Fullerton, California. Olds reputation for professional quality may have been established when they first created the SUPER model. The SUPER came before the "Recording", the "Opera", and the "Mendez" models. Since the beginning of production, the SUPER was infused with an extra metal engraved tone ring just behind the rim of the bell (approximately 1/2" wide).

The playing characteristics of the SUPER is quite unique and has been described as "DENSE". It is a big, massively projecting sound. One Olds enthusiest describes it as follows,

"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."

This particular specimen still retains MUCH of it's original lacquer, I would say about 90%. There is some scratching and lacquer-worn areas (in the usual spots where thumbs or hands were rubbing). There are most likely a few tiny bumps and bruises on the main body, no major dents/dings.

Comes in original Olds case - good interior and nice exterior

All slides and valves move freely and all caps unscrew.
