 | Adding a 1st valve slide ring onto an olds? I've got my eye on a Olds Super but it doesn't have a 1st valve slide ring. Is it that big a deal with the these horns? Can I add one onto there myself? |

| Re: Adding a 1st valve slide ring onto an olds? Personally, I'd keep a vintage horn as close to original as possible. |

| Re: Adding a 1st valve slide ring onto an olds? OK, if you could find an original Olds part that fit your horn then I guess it would be acceptable. :) |

| Re: Adding a 1st valve slide ring onto an olds? I argue, sometimes unsuccessfully, that when a horn doesn't have a first-valve saddle or ring that it doesn't actually need one. Some horns are built to a different intonation philosophy. Either you learn to play to its characteristics, or you don't. But don't be immediately wanting to throw a saddle on a horn that doesn't have one. Get to know it, first. Tom

| Re: Adding a 1st valve slide ring onto an olds? If you are buying this horn in order to play it and you feel once you get it you need a saddle, do it. If you are buying it just to add to a collection then that may be different. You are the one playing it and if you believe you need it do it. |

| Re: Adding a 1st valve slide ring onto an olds? I have a Super and a Recording, both from the 50's. I decided to put a 1st valve slide kicker on the Super, but not the Recording. I have a problem with the high A on my Super but not so much on the Recording. As ANA said, the 1st valve slide kicker was an option on the Supers so I dont think its a problem to add. I had a late 60's Super with the adjustable kicker on it. I ordered the parts for the 1st valve slide and a 3rd valve slide stop through Buckeye Brass in my area. He has had a problem getting the parts quickly, but assures me they'll be here soon. When it happens, I'll post again and let you know cost and how it went.

| Re: Adding a 1st valve slide ring onto an olds? 1958 Olds SUPER Trumpet Gold Silver Los Angeles - eBay (item 350259999346 end time Oct-11-09 11:33:01 PDT) I won this one : ) What do you guys think about the fullerton/LA bell hybrids? Has anyone ever played one? Theres some unsightly spots on the lacquer but the rest of it looks great. I hope this was a good purchase!! |
