Product Details

An Olds Super tenor trombone has arrived.

Based on the serial number, this instrument appears to have been manufactured around 1950.

The Super is one of Olds' flagship professional models.

Combining a small bell with a dual bore, it boasts a light response and a focused sound.

The first thing that catches the eye is the garland attached to the outer circumference of the bell.

This distinctive structure, called the "Tone Control Band" by Olds, features a nickel-silver band around the bell's circumference, creating the unique appearance of the Super.

Furthermore, a major feature of this instrument is Olds' unique "Duo-Octagonal Slide."

Unlike typical cylindrical slide tubes, the inner tube is molded into a multifaceted shape, a very unique structure.

This design, conceived by Olds at the time, minimizes contact and friction with the outer tube, resulting in smooth slide operation.

The incorporation of original structures such as the bell with a garland and the multifaceted slide, rarely seen in modern trombones, is a major attraction of this model. The sound is characterized by a clear outline and core, while also possessing the dense resonance typical of vintage instruments.
Its light playing feel and excellent response make it stand out in jazz and big band settings.
The Super model allows you to enjoy the original design philosophy and unique sound of 1950s Olds.
If you are looking for a vintage trombone, please consider this opportunity.

If you would like to see product images from different angles, etc., we will take additional photos upon request.
