1960 F.E. Olds & Son "Super" Trumpet (Model S-10) – Original Lacquer – Professionally Serviced

 

A true American classic from the Fullerton era. The Olds Super S-10 is legendary for its "diamond-dense" core and incredible projection. Featuring the iconic nickel-silver tone ring and a unique design that feels incredibly solid in the hands, this is a "workhorse" professional horn built to last lifetimes.

 

This 1960 model has been professionally cleaned, serviced, and play-tested. It is in perfect playing condition with lightning-fast valves and excellent compression.

 



Product Highlights

  • Iconic Tone Ring: Features the signature nickel-silver band around the bell flare, which stabilizes the vibrations for a focused, powerful sound.

 

  • Fullerton Craftsmanship: Built during the peak of Olds' production years, known for tight tolerances and exceptional valve action.

 

  • Original Patina: Retains its original lacquer with a rich, dark amber hue that only comes with 60+ years of age.

 

  • Stage-Ready: Fully serviced (chemical bath and alignment) with all slides and valves moving perfectly.

Condition Report

 

  • Mechanics: Valves are "Olds-fast"—famously smooth and reliable. Compression is excellent. All slides function perfectly.

 

  • Aesthetics: The original lacquer shows honest wear and some "freckling" consistent with a 1960s instrument. No major dents; the bell flare is straight and the tone ring is secure.

 

  • Maintenance: Recently deep-cleaned. All felts and corks have been replaced.
