VINTAGE 1969 Olds Studio Trumpet Outfit, Fullerton California, Nickel

The Olds Studio Trumpet from 1969 is one of those Fullerton-era horns that truly earned its reputation — a responsive, free-blowing trumpet with a focused core and just enough shimmer on top to sit beautifully in concert band, jazz, or solo playing. Built in Fullerton, California, the Studio model balanced professional craftsmanship with a lively, flexible feel, and this nickel-finished example carries the character and playability that made Olds horns so well regarded among educators and working players alike.

Key Features:

• 1969 Fullerton, California production — classic late-era Olds build quality

• Studio model known for its clean response, centered tone, and easy upper register

• Nickel-finished body offering durability and a bright, elegant appearance

• Smooth valve action with the quick, light feel Olds players love

• Balanced blow that supports both ensemble playing and lead lines

• Original outfit with case included

• Vintage condition — honest cosmetic wear from age; fully functional and inspected

Condition: Vintage, player-grade, and well maintained for its age. Shows the expected surface wear and patina of a 55-year-old horn, but valves move freely, slides function properly, and the trumpet speaks evenly across the range. No structural red flags. A great example for a player who appreciates the feel and voice of a true Olds Studio.
