For sale here is a used Olds Super tenor trombone with a small shank. The instrument has a 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 1956 and has recently been overhauled by us for you.

What distinguishes this professional Olds trombone:

  • Super punchy, snotty trombone sound, great for big band or funk.
  • Beautiful patina on the bell
  • The train runs well. Some wear.
  • This instrument has a conical slide with .485"/12.32mm//.500"/12.7mm S-bore. The bell is Ø 7.5" (191mm)
  • Gold brass bell, nickel silver outer slide.
  • With the famous butterfly crown, unique among jazz trombones.
  • Made in Los Angeles
  • As a lubricant I recommend Olds Slide-O-Mix Rapid Comfort.
  • The serial number is 215XXX, 1956.

Condition of this Olds after intensive inspection:

  • The train runs well. Some wear.
  • The tuning slide is freely movable
  • Stop felt is available.
  • Rubber stopper is available.
  • The instrument is in good condition and can be played immediately.
  • The bell has a beautiful patinated finish. Overall good condition.
  • Of course, minor signs of wear are visible.
  • The handles are also in good condition.
  • The instrument was recently overhauled by us and is now perfectly playable.
I am a professional musician myself and have tested this trombone thoroughly and found it to be flawless. That is why we offer a 2-year guarantee.

Accessories included:

  • The instrument comes with the original Olds case in yellow tweet.

Recommendation from me as a professional musician:

  • 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.
  • I recommend Olds Slide-O-Mix Rapid Comfort as a lubricant.
  • The instrument should be cleaned regularly from the inside, e.g. with a Reka care set.

That's why Elbblech - safety, quality and guarantees:

  • 30-day return policy.
  • 1 year warranty, 2 years guarantee
  • Free shipping and returns
  • If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or get in touch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is it possible to play the instruments in the store?

– Yes, during opening hours or by appointment in our shop with workshop in Mölln.

I have no way of coming to Mölln. Can I still play the instruments?

– Yes, that is possible. The easiest way is to place a normal order. Then you have a 30-day right of return after receiving the goods and can test the instrument at your leisure at home, in class or at a rehearsal. Shipping and returns are free for you in Germany anyway. If you still don't want to order, please contact us and we will find a solution.

Who is behind Elbblech?

– That's me, Felix Eilers, a professional trombonist and managing director. Instrument maker Danilo Neun works in the workshop and in sales in our shop in Mölln. We are also supported by our partner workshops "Trompetentobi".

Is it possible to contact you by telephone?

– Yes, please feel free to contact me via this page if you have something to offer.

Are the instruments delivered with a mouthpiece?

- New instruments are always delivered with a mouthpiece. Used instruments are not, in most cases. We have a large selection of mouthpieces and are happy to advise you individually when purchasing a mouthpiece.

Are the instruments playable straight away?

– As a rule, all instruments are serviced and/or serviced in a workshop. I only sell instruments that are in such good condition that I would use them professionally myself. If an instrument is not immediately playable, I write this clearly in the item description.

Do you also ship outside of Germany?

Yes, we have been shipping worldwide for many years.
