This is an OLDS Studio Cornet in mostly raw brass. A no reserve auction. It is a great player with that big, fat, open OLDS sound. It has the nickel silver bell and really projects. Serial number 204XXX places it around early 1957 and it is an early Fullerton horn. This has a standard mouthpiece receiver and accepts standard cornet mouthpieces. It is a .468 bore cornet and one of the easiest blowing horns I have played. I find it to play with a big beautiful tone, and with a deep cup mouthpiece mellow and pure. With a shallow or C cup style mouthpiece it plays bright, very much like a trumpet but not as bright as a trumpet. This is a very nice playing horn. It is mostly raw brass and has been hand polished, not buffed. Some old lacquer is still around 3rd and main tuning slide areas showing some discolorization, not corrosion. The valves are in excellent condition with good compression and the slides are all free. There is some pitting in the brass on the lead pipe and bell tube but only a couple of small dings. The silver bell is free from dings. The second valve tuning slide is missing it's pull tab but is clean looking and functions fine without it. I have put on new corks and felts. The horn is solid and a great playing horn. It includes the original case in good condition but no mouthpiece. I love these OLDS horns but I have too many and it is time to let a couple go. I have a Super cornet in another auction so take a look. I try to describe accurately so please look at the photos and email me with any questions.
