From the 1962 Olds Catalog: 

"In polished, clear-lacquer brass, this double French horn shows characteristic Olds attention to details of bracing, styling, and player comfort. The Olds method of bracing which separates the tubing allows free vibration and undistorted harmonics for extra tonal color. 

Trouble free and long lasting oversize rotor bearings with oil receiver screw for lubricating inaccessible bearing. Flat nickel-silver key spatulas which are comfortable and durable. Rounded tubing bends eliminate moisture pockets." 

This horn arrived in good shape, and only required an ultrasonic cleaning to prep it for sale. Once our professional brass technician cleaned and lubed the horn, it got a play-test, and it's ready to go! This horn is overall in very good shape. Some lacquer wear can be found on the tuning slide crooks and bell throat, but for a horn that is 60+ years old, that should be expected. The horn is dent-free, and it's here waiting for you!
