I started on an Olds Ambassador I played it all through grammer school and then used it as my marching band horn in high school. , I still have it. I recently had it restored, now my son is playing it. It still sounds great.

Love your hard work and achievement.
I'm not from Philly so I defer to the 'Wise One' to inform about the son of a Preacher man who after school hours would play at funerals to earn spending loot.
In the Tioga section (North Philly),they had their own special corn (bread) with matching ears.

My first horn was a Swedish made "Euphony 600", wich I borrowed from my grandfather/first techer.

Actually a VERY good horn, but HUGE!

Quite a few pro lead players wanted to buy it from me when I started gigging in highschool!

Still have it, but I only last about 15 minutes on it! Must quit smoking, I guess!
