[Summary]
F.E. Olds B.♭Trumpet M-10 Rafael Mendez model. 119mm two-piece yellowbrass bell. 460'' ML valve bore. Lacquered finish. Instrument weight 1075 grams, made in 1962. Comes with genuine Olds hard case.

[Condition.]
The current lacquer is a repaint but is believed to be over 20 years old. The original piston button is gold plated but has been lacquered. There are some lacquer peeling on the mouth pipe, rear of the bell, valve casing, etc. There are no noticeable repair marks or history of accidents. The inside of the pipe has been cleaned and soft mono has been replaced. Piston tightness and action are good.
[Features]
This is the flagship model of F.E. Olds Trumpets, an American brass instrument maker of yesteryear. The company was founded in California in 1908. Constantly introducing cutting-edge technology and acquiring various patents, the company led other manufacturers. The company produced many excellent instruments as a brand for professional players in the United States. The M-10 in stock is a signature model supervised by Mexican-born world-famous trumpet player Rafael Mendez (1906-1981). It features excellent response and balance that is second to none of the latest current models. We are convinced that this is the instrument that supported Mendes' superhuman technique. Although it has been repainted, the response is excellent and the instrument is in extremely healthy condition.
