| Ed, my last 2 horns were from Malcolm at Alaska Brass. I got an Olds Ambassador and a Super. He always overhauls the horns and both were impressive. His shipping is excellent and he uses Borodi Music near Cleveland for the overhauls.
After seeing all the great pics of his finished horns on eBay and his site I sent an eBay Olds Recording to Borodi for overhaul. Great work, excellent job and fantastic price.
I'm certainly 'sold' on Alaska, but lately his starting prices have been pretty high and not many have had bids. I'd suggest that people who want an Olds keep watching his auctions for better starting prices, you won't be sorry if you win!
