Olds Trumpet With Kanstul Bell. Condition is "Used".This was a conversion someone sold me a few years ago. The details are as follows:
Kanstul Copper Bell
Olds Ambassador valve cluster (circa mid to late 60’s)
Leadpipe and main tuning slide come from Olds special
First and third valve tubing slides were converted to modern standards
No finish on horn.
Recently I had the first valve freed up to move more easily when playing and the thumb hook was changed to be more comfortable. The third valve ring was moved closer to the valve cluster to also be more comfortable to hold. Added a brace from the forward part of the bell to the leadpipe (the straight brace came from an older CONNstellation).
Notes:
The bell as a scratch mark from where the old brace used to be. I believe the etching was to ensure the brace return to that position when reassembled. There is noticeable solder residue around some braces that were reattached.
The horn is dark sounding. Plays really easy. Was told that it plays really close to a Powell custom trumpet.
