1959 Olds
Mendez Bb
trumpet email us about this trumpet - admin@centex-brass.com This trumpet has been professionally relacquered in the past. The engraving is sharp on the bell as shown in the photos. Valves and slides are smooth and this plays with the precision and style that Rafael Mendez made famous as the premier artist for Olds in the 1950's. This horn has had some modificaitons. The first and third triggers have been removed. This was done before the horn was refinished. There is also a stop rod assembly that has been added to the 3rd valve slide. The valve to bell braces have been replaced with Bach "Z" style braces. The valve to leadpipe brace is also not an original brace. The finger buttons on the horn are Ambassador/Studio style, but are aligned correctly. These were refinished with the horn. Interestingly, there is a set of original style Mendez finger buttons in the case. They have not been refinished, but are most likely original to the horn. This trumpet clean inside and out. All slides are smooth. Engraving is sharp and clear Case appears to be original and shows wear, but no odor. FEATURES:
