Olds Super Jazz Tenor Trombone 1945 Los Angeles

For sale here is a used Olds Super tenor trombone with a small shank. The instrument has a silver-plated gold brass bell.

About the history of this great instrument:

Frank Ellsworth (FE) Olds was born in Medina, New York in 1861.

After working for Conn for some time, he began selling trombones in his own business in 1912.

Among the most famous Olds employees were Foster Reynolds and Zig Kanstul, both of whom were successful instrument makers under their own names.

The most popular Olds trombone models include the "Recording", "Super", "Opera" and the "P-22".

The instrument offered here was built in 1945 and has recently been overhauled by us for you.

• The Super is one of the best jazz instruments, and its craftsmanship and sound are in no way inferior to those of King, Conn, etc.
• For these Olds I recommend Yamaha Slide Lubricant or Slide-O-Mix Rapid Comfort as lubricants.
• The instrument should be cleaned regularly from the inside, e.g. with a Reka care set.
