Professional F.E. Olds Mendez model Bb Trumpet
I purchased this instrument approximately 20 years ago and have played it very little since. It has been carefully stored and well maintained.
In 2006, the trumpet underwent a professional restoration that included a complete cleaning, relacquering, repair and resoldering of the first and third valve trigger assemblies, and a full mechanical inspection. At that time, the valve compression was tested and found to be excellent. Since the restoration, the instrument has been played only occasionally and has remained carefully stored, preserving its excellent condition.
The trumpet will be carefully packed and fully insured for shipment.
Features include:
- Professional Olds Mendez model
- Bb key
- Original lacquer finish as professionally restored
- Smooth, responsive piston valves
- Excellent valve compression

Please note:
- The first and third valve trigger assemblies were professionally repaired and resoldered during the 2006 restoration.
- The trumpet shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with its age.

This classic American-made Olds Mendez is a wonderful playing instrument that has been well cared for and lightly used for many years. It will be carefully packed and fully insured for shipment.
