This is a 1947 Olds Super Recording that has been restored by master brass craftsman Charlie Melk.  The Super Recording represents the pinnacle of Olds craftsmanship and was the horn that attracted legendary trumpet virtuoso Rafael Mendez to become an Olds artist and later to lend his name to the Mendez model.  The Super Recording was actually known at the time as the "Recording model Super trumpet."  Prior to its intruduction in Olds lineup.  Thus the new model built on the reputation of the Super.

The restoration work was done about three years ago and the horn has been stored in climate controlled conditions since that time.

There is some evidence of minor nicks and blemishes under the lacquer, but they are minimal.  With a proper restoration, the craftsman will leave minor imperfections in the surface to avoid over-buffing.  The engraving is crystal clear which is an indication of the care taken during the restoration.

Engraving is sharp and clear

Valves have been rebuilt at Anderson's and are like new.
