Ditto! I own more than 30 Olds trumpets and actually used an Ambassador for some time for my day to day work. I think it was built in 1949. The only horns I prefer to that particular Ambassador are all of my Recordings and my Eclipse. The other models I have just don't give me that feeling of "wow". But........to each his own when it comes to choosing a horn.
