For consideration is a vintage Olds Studio baritone. The serial number, 458751, dates it to 1964. It shows plenty of wear throughout including small dings and some bigger denting in the main bow; there is minor dent scarring from past repair. The horn is down to raw brass and has picked up a nice patina. A few of the braces have been replaced, but the old (remnants) are included. The solder work / bracing, chem clean, and alignment was completed by our in-house brass technician. The ho...rn plays nicely as-is and is fully functional. The slides are all free, smooth, and aligned. The valves quick and aligned with new corks / felts; there is minor plating loss on the valves, but compression is nice overall. The removable bell is in nice condition, but has had previous repair work; the engraving isn't very crisp and the nickel plating is scuffed up. A molded case is included and is functional, but does show wear. Pleaseread the entire item description and examine all of the pictures carefullybefore buying.
