I am always on the look out for good quality used trumpets that I can sell reasonably to students and keep them away from the junk horns that abound.
I saw an Olds Ambassador on eBay that looked to be in great shape. It arrived today. My oh my. Very little lacquer wear and the case looks near new.
But when I played it with a stock 7C I was most impressed! I have played many beginner horns. Since high C (up an octave from here :treble: :c6: ) is my limit (although I can pop a D, E or F at times) I am usually a pretty good judge of beginner horns.
This horn is amazing. Nice tone, even when I am playing it
and the intonation was right on! My is this a nice beginner's horn.
I wonder if I got one that Zig Kanstul had a hand in building?
