Bach TR-300 Trumpet $345 or best Offer Serial #C38092 - This is a top-of-the-line student to intermediate instrument. It features a two-piece 4.75” diameter bell, two water keys, adjustable 3rd valve slide and stop mechanism, nylon valve guides, enclosed bronze valve springs, and Monel pistons. The slides all work easily and the valves are very fast. It comes with a Conn 4 mouthpiece. The instrument has the scratches you’d expect to see from normal wear and a little bit of pitting on the lacquer on the 3rd valve from being held and played. There are a few minor dings in the flare of the bell. The case in excellent condition. A new horn similar to this one would retail for about $550 through the big musical instrument discount houses. I’m asking $345 or best offer. Questions about this product? Email me |
Serial #161446 - This is a step-up instrument - an intermediate model between a beginning and a professional level instrument. I played one of these for years and really liked it. This one’s had a quick trip to the shop for a few new pads and some minor adjustment and is in good shape. It’s made of good quality grenadilla wood and there are no cracks on the body or tenons. The case is original and in good shape and the instrument comes with a Selmer mouthpiece. $325.

Serial #22430. This is simply the most beautiful trumpet I’ve ever seen. It was probably made between 1948 and 1949 at Olds’ Los Angeles factory before they moved to Fullerton, California. The quality of the instruments made in LA was the best. The Super Recording trumpet was their top of the line professional model. It’s considered the finest Olds trumpet ever made and is superior to many of today’s top instruments. The trumpet features an offset 2nd valve, which was an Olds trademark, designed to make the instrument more comfortable to play by creating a more natural finger position. The rim of the bell is outlined in silver and engraved “Made by F. E. Olds and Son, Los Angeles California, Super” with the word “Recording” engraved in the bell. The instrument has a rose brass bell and lead pipe and lots of other wonderful detailing that you can see in the photos. (The sparkling effect in the photos is real. The way the horn was finished creates it.) The valves are very fast! All of the slides move freely. 3rd valve tuning slide, 2 water keys. Comes with an old Holton 56A mouthpiece and a Yamaha 11C4-70. Original case.
This is a professional model horn and it's in great shape! These horns list for about $2780 and sell through the big discount houses for about $1300 to $1500. The horn is silver plated and comes with Pro-Tech gig bag case, a stand and a full set of mutes including a Harmon, a cup, a straight mute, a plunger, and a bucket. Also, Bach 2C and Yamaha Bobby Shew Lead mouthpieces. Two of the trumpet players in my big band play Conn Vintage Ones and love them! This horn looks new except for a little darkening on the piston buttons and some wear on the lacquer and plating a few inches behind the bell where the horn was held. The valves are very fast on this horn.
This is a professional model that lists for between $1600 to $1900 and sells through the big discounters at between $1100 and $1600. It's silver plated with a yellow brass bell and bottom sprung valves. (The valves are amazingly fast!) Comes with a Yamaha Bobby Shew mouthpiece. The horn is basically in good shape and it plays well. However, at some point in its life, it has been dropped. As you will see from the photos, there's a dent. This hasn't affected its playability. This is a really sweet instrument. Two of the trumpet players in my big band have tried it and both would have bought it if they didn't have flugelhorns already.
