A great looking, great playing Olds Super Bb Trumpet from around 1964 is offered here. The Olds Super is a classic trumpet; workable for any venue and built like a tank. Good intonation, good valves, good slides... Not much to complain about here. And if you want to know more about the Olds Super, here's a great place to go... olds-central.com (a wonderful site filled with Olds info). Also check this out for those loving the Olds Super... centexbrass.com/superevolution2025 Ok, now for the horn in this video: Played first with a GR64MX mouthpiece - a nice legit piece. Then I use a TA-TF piece by Trent Austin at ACB. Followed by a very deep, very dark sounding Bob Reeves C2J, and lastly a bit of a commercial sound with a Monette BLM. The times are indicated below if you want to focus on the playing samples. Enjoy! :)
GR64MX: 1:12
ACB TA-TF: 6:30
Reeves C2J: 8:37
Monette BLM: 10:33
Bach 72* GR: 12:26

Two great horns here, but listen to this guy play, You Needed Me (which I TRY to play on this YouTube vid). Bill Pierce, absolutely fantastic trombone player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZd9ghZV1LU
Im playing a Martin Committee #2 bore (medium bore) and an Adams A4LT; .461 bore, Red Brass Bell, .45 gauge.
Ok, in my vid I begin with a Patrick CR5Z, which Ive opened up to a 26 drill size (one larger than the standard 27 [and this mouthpiece came with a 28 drill - pretty tight]). I then go to a Deep V, small trumpet/flugel mouthpiece, Trent Austins great TA-TF piece. Lastly I use a Warburton 6MD with a Curry #10 backbore. Individual clips below...
Committee w/ Patrick: 3:32
Adams A4LT w/ Patrick: 4:58
Committee w/ TA-TF: 6:35
Adams A4LT w/ TA-TF: 8:28
Committee w/ 6MD: 10:49
Adams A4LT w/ 6MD: 12:15
Bach/Benge w/ 6MD: 14:53 Martin Committee Vs. Adams A4LT (+ Bonus Horn!)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i51tVPToBKQ/mqdefault.jpg)
