| Re: Super Olds Recording Trumpet info??? Morris,
I erred in saying that they were pure copper. The bells are in fact "Rey-o-loy", I believe, which would be like rose brass. It is possible that the horn that you are referring to could indeed be either this or straight lacquer, as it's an early horn.
thanks
