Posted: Mon May 17, 2021 7:40 am Post subject: Looking for a Part to an Olds Special Trumpet |
|
|
Hi. I recently acquired a 1960 Olds Special (the tri-color version) trumpet (what a wonderfully-playing horn) on which the previous owner apparently lost, and replaced one of its finger keys with one from an Ambassador. It works fine, but I would really like to keep the horn all original, including its parts.
Would anybody out there in TH Land possibly have an old '60's Special trumpet like mine, that is only usable as a parts horn, and would be willing and able to sell me one of its finger buttons? If so, please PM me, including how much you want for it.
If no one has a parts horn, perhaps instead one, or several of you know where I can go to get one of the finger buttons for it instead? If so, will you please let me know?
Thank you. _________________ 1954 Holton Super Collegiate Trumpet (Yellow brass w/nickel silver bell flare, like the Olds Studio model)

Olds use the same style of finger buttons on Specials, Supers, and Recordings of this era. The have smooth sides and have a beveled edge. Unfortunately, they are not all identical, so you may have a hard time finding an exact match for your other two. They do show up on ebay from time to time, but a quick search does not show any right now. I have a couple of these in my parts drawer, but as I said, they may not be a perfect match. If you post a close up photo of your other two, I can let you know if I have a good match. Here is a photo of a similar vintage Super with this style of finger button.
