Olds Ambassador Eb Trumpet

@ssmith1226 Yes, I did play one for a while. It was HORRIBLY out of tune. Had I known then what I know today, I would have been able to get that fixed. Still, It was a marching band instrument, not really something for blend in the orchestra.

I have purchased the Olds Custom Eb/D, but not received it yet. The price was right, compared too a Bach, Schilke, Yamaha, etc., and it unlikely will ever be used in an orchestra setting. What is your solution to correcting intonation issues? By the way, I plan on using in on multitrack recordings similar to ones I have posted on this site which in the past consisted of me playing, Bb, C, Bass & Piccolo Trumpets, Flugelhorn, Corno de Caccia, Mellophone etc, purely at an amateur level. I promise that I won’t abuse an orchestra with it.

@ssmith1226 The solution for intonation is a combination of things: matching the mouthpiece backbore, leadpipe, mass at specific places and bracing.
