A true American classic from the Fullerton era. The Olds Super S-10 is legendary for its "diamond-dense" core and incredible projection. Featuring the iconic nickel-silver tone ring and a unique design that feels incredibly solid in the hands, this is a "workhorse" professional horn built to last lifetimes.
This 1960 model has been professionally cleaned, serviced, and play-tested. It is in perfect playing condition with lightning-fast valves and excellent compression.
