Because I have,currently, two Collegiates and an Olds Ambassador, as well as an Olds Special,all cornets, I can state that the Olds horns have far superior valves and better tone,no matter the mouthpiece choice. The Olds horns make music for me, while I fight to get any form of music from the Holtons. I am not calling the Holton cornets bad horns, just not 'quite' as good as the stuff from California.
