  | Choosing between two great horns If you could only buy one horn and was choosing between an Olds Mendez or an Olds Recorder, which one would you choose and why? Purpose of the horn is for just general playing and collecting. Thanks |

| Re: Choosing between two great horns In my opinion, if it is for collecting and sometimes playing, I would get the Mendez model. A friend of mine bought his new in 1966 and it is still a great trumpet. -cw-

| Re: Choosing between two great horns My favorite Olds is the Recording for playability (especially jazz playing) but for resale the Mendez gets the nod.

 | Re: Choosing between two great horns I was taught to never reject any possible option until a VERY thorough analysis had been completed. This includes the necessity of thinking "outside the box" and not allow yourself to be bound by "commonly-accepted" conventions; be imaginative. I agree that it might NOT be possible to purchase both... on the other hand, maybe there IS a way? Still, it's a nice choice to have to make, isn't it? |
