Olds Opera model vintage 1960's Fullerton, CA. SN 560263. Has 8.5" Nickel silver bell with F-attachment. Is large bore tenor. Standard large bore tenor size is .547, these models are actually slightly larger estimated .551. Takes standard large shank tenor mouthpiece. Original mouthpiece included. Plays very big and wide, lots of power and clarity. Would make a great all around tenor for any player looking for the Nickel Silver sound, feel and look. Jazz Trombonist Curtis Fuller played a straight version of this model on many of his recordings. Another well known player that did a lot of recording as a soloist with the straight version of this model was Bill Pierce. This is a gorgeous looking and sounding instrument. Handslide is in excellent condition. It is rare these days to find an Olds Recording that has no inner slide defects. These slide tubes are perfect. Original case included also in perfect condition. Would make an excellent all around tenor for anyone looking to play vintage.
