  |  Bizzarely shaped leadpipes on OLDS STUDIO CORNETs Folks, Recently Trent Austin posted an Olds Studio Cornet eBay: OLDS STUDIO CORNET LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA (item 150095613001 end time Mar-03-07 12:35:32 PST) in the classified section. I was surprised by the rather strange curve of the leadpipe that you can see on the photos. Can anybody tell me if all Olds Studio Cornets were like this?

| Re: Bizzarely shaped leadpipes on OLDS STUDIO CORNETs Hey Nick, While I know we've been pm'ing about this I thought it would be good to get other people's thoughts about this. (BTW: The horn listed isn't mine that I sold but looks very similar to it). It's an extremely funky design, isn't it. Every Studio I've seen has the similar bend in the leadpipe. Regards, T

| Re: Bizzarely shaped leadpipes on OLDS STUDIO CORNETs If you're referring to the leadpipe where it crosses the valves, it looks bent to me. Here's some catalog pages from the era: 1949 Olds Catalog 1957 Olds Catalog Garry |

| Re: Bizzarely shaped leadpipes on OLDS STUDIO CORNETs I like how the price only went up 8 bucks in eight years!

| Re: Bizzarely shaped leadpipes on OLDS STUDIO CORNETs Just another way to squeeze 24" of tubing into a 12" space. Or something like that....  You can sure tell that horn doesn't have a one-piece bell, can't you?
