RE: Under the radar
The Olds Ambassador. While touted as a beginners horn, it was used by my favorite trumpet player, Lee Morgan on his Cornbread album. Used also by many other professionals (Freddie Hubbard), so while some may critique it as a beginner model, it plays with precision and sound of vintage horns. In fact, of the 10 horns I own, all of the remainder of which are definitely not beginner horns, I rate my Ambassador as number 3, that follows after my Martin Committee and Harrelson Summit.

RE: Bugles Across America
@j-jericho said in Bugles Across America:
It's an electronic device that looks like a bugle. The user pretends to play, and a recording actually sounds Taps...
So you are saying: The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B - the real thing; but The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company E, not so much!

RE: King Silver Flair - Buying Advice
I think when it comes to valve oil, it's more the preference of the player than it is about the horn. I find that my Ultrapure works equally well on my 1939 Olds Super Recording as it does on my 2017 Harrelson Summit.

RE: New old member or old new member, can't remember
@georgeb georgeb, are you still a union player after all these years?
I joined the AFM about a decade ago and have been very impressed as to how the union has worked for me as well as the benefits that are available to AFM members.

"...I'm going to finally buy the perfect mouthpiece"...
As have I... each year for every year I have been playing the trumpet. Yep Yep... Have 50 perfect mouthpieces I have... Yep Yep.
Welcome to TB and look forward to reading your shared knowledge as you have more to offer here than you may think... and if you have a good enough offer, I can sell you one of my perfect mouthpieces, that would be just perfect for you, I am perfectly sure.

RE: 1957 Pristine Selmer K-Modified needs a home
@oldschooleuph
I agree. Beautiful horn. Sell it for what it's worth. If you do donate -- please give to a VERY deserving student who will take very good care of said horn and appreciate the generosity.
