| Can anybody compare the Fullerton Ambassador and the tricolor Special cornets from 60s? Tonal colors, ease of playing, etc.. |

I owned an Olds Tri-colored Special trumpet for a while, and I can tell you that it had a wonderfully rich tone. Better than both the Ambassador and the
Olds Studio that was supposedly a step above it. I only sold it because it wasn't in the best of condition when I bought it on ebay. Too many repairs
and also valve issues to boot. In my opinion, the most underrated Olds there is.
