Olds Ambassador Eb Trumpet
-
Have any of you ever seen one of these? I bought it from a friend 25 or 30 years ago and have gigged with it maybe 6 times. It has a D slide with it, and plays ok in D, less well in Eb. Anyone else ever played one? I’m interested in other playing impressions.

I had one for a while, the one I had played horribly out of tune with itself if I'm being honest. It only had the Eb slides though.Shires ACB

I’ve only played it in D on the gigs I’ve used it for (all classical), and it was ok - a few notes needed alternate fingerings, but it was a useable instrument. I guess that’s why I’ve kept it.
