Outside of a bit of plating loss on the third valve(I'll take pics on Monday when I return from the weekend) Triggers work great. Valves are smooth fast and free. No wear inside the leadpipe. Plays amazingly well!
The best playing Mendez I have owned(I've owned about 6 of them) Original case and Mt. Vernon Bach 10 1/2C are also included. Condition: All original condition but this horn was stored in a dry environment and stored away clean. With the exception of the finish(which I think looks pretty sweet actually) this horn is in wonderful shape. We thoroughly ultrasonically cleaned this horn. Aligned the valves, got all the stuck parts moving again(and they.
Do move fantastically well now) and made sure all felts/corks/etc are properly sealing. We have spent quite a few hours to make sure the horn is ready for years to come!

1952 Olds Mendez Trumpet You are bidding on a first year of manufacture in Los Angeles. Olds Mendez trumpet circa 1952. Serial numbers began with 86,000, this one is 86321. Excellent playing condition with original weathered lacquer.
Original case. Two mutes& two mouth pieces included. Valves and slides move freely.
The Mendez horn was a copy of a French Besson that Ralph Mendez was playing prior to his involvement with Olds. This instrument would be the model that Mendez played. The Mendez is an excellent pro-line horn with quick valves. Excellent intonation and sound with a third valve slide trigger. Reviews by professional players: If you want a solo horn that can sing above the entire orchestra without playing loud.
Same character makes it a most wonderful horn for 3:rd and 2:nd trumpet playing. I tend to think tone is. To dark for being'the perfect' lead trumpet, but it still works fine playing lead.
I have played 8 or 9 or these wonderful horns. Each one has been equal to any vintage trumpet for intonation and the ability to color tone exactly to suit the music I have been playing my olds for almost 30 years. I love the sound of the horn. Easier to play, and when you want to be above the crowd, the horn can deliver. What also amazing is the valves. I have never played a horn with valves as reponsive as the olds.
So much better than my Dad's strad. I own a'52 Olds Mendez long cornet which I bought with my paper route money in Eagle Rock. I was in the 7th grade at the time and was playing in the Eagle Rock High School band. I still have my horn and it's still a wonderful instrument. I played with Mendez in 1959 in Olympia, WA and in 1960 moved back to LA and studied with his one of Rafael's best friends, Silvio Savant. Silvio was the top studio trumpet player in LA at the time and was principal trumpet in the Burbank Symphony.
My Mendez never let me down. Vintage Old's Mendez Trumpet with Original Case serial# 308509. This Mendez trumpet is a fine example of the quality brass instruments built in the Fullerton factory during the 1950's. With the input of the great Rafael Mendez. This flagship in the Old's line offers triggers for both the first and third valve slides. The triggers are in excellent condition on this trumpet and the slides are free, easy and smooth. The valves have matching serial numbers and are fast and quiet with good plating and compression in the chambers.
See photo) This horn would been an excellent trumpet to have silver plated or re-lacquer. Most of the lacquer is missing but the trumpet is in fantastic condition for its age. The trumpet is not totally free of nicks but there are no dents or evidence of past trauma or repair.
The trumpet is a very good player. With a nice warm sound. The dynamic response is very good on the trumpet I find it to be free blowing and a real joy to play. I can find no reason for you not to be delight with this instrument. The only negative would be the lack of finish but many players find this to be a non issue. I have long been a fan of these trumpet and have owned many in the last twenty years.
It would be very hard and certainly expensive to find a trumpet built of this quality today. If you enjoy playing fine vintage trumpets and are a fan of the Old's instruments. I feel this would be a great instrument for you to own. Included is the original case in used condition.
No mouthpiece. Olds Bb trumpet case. This was the case provided with professional model in the late 1960's and early 1970's.

The sound is lively and brilliant with a great focus. Very typical of the sound Mendez was looking for and he obtained. I love the dual triggers that this horn offers and have often wondered why other manufactures never duplicated this feature.

The compression is good and the horn is ready to be played and should provide years of playing for the future owner. Valves are very smooth and fast. The horn is clean and has been pretty well maintained. I am estimating that there is 75% to 80% original lacquer on the horn.
There is some lacquer wear on the bell flare and other spots throughout the horn. There are no dents or major damage. As for the sound, the upper register on this horn is great.
In my opinion it is easy blow above the staff. The tone is also very nice in the middle register. A vintage'Olds#3' mouthpiece will be included. The horn also comes. With a case that is in pretty good shape. The starting bid is very low.
There is free economy shipping. This is a nice horn that sounds great. This is a very sad day for me. I need to part with a few items of mine in order to pay for a new car.

I bought this trumpet from a collectors widow. It features a beautiful engraving on the bell and different parts of the trumpet. I believe at some point there was gold trimming but its now faded. The valves are in great condition and have lots of pop. Ive notice that even if the valves are dry they are still smooth and fast.
It has a well design third slide trigger. And has a small bell which produces a bright and compacted sound. It really is a great player. Even if it was made 60plus years ago its still has a punch to it( played in orchestra and lead) doesn't have any red. Doesn't show any signs of mayor repairs ready to play out of the box. But once you buy this beauty you would want to put it in a museum. It only has a very small faded part in a contact point.

It is in need of a restoration. But will probably play just fine with a decent parts cleaning and spring/ seal replacement. Here's a list of my observations: Main valves need cleaning. 1 Sticks closed, but opens, needs spring, 2 Works but has a little play when full open. 3 Needs cleaning but moves open to close. 1st slide valve opens and closes manually. Spring still exists 2nd slide valve and Tuning Slide are stuck closed.
However, there are no dents in brass and probably need some kind of break free solution to free them up. 3rd slide valve works but takes 3 seconds to return to original position. Water keys look good. But will need new rubber seals eventually.
Bell is not flat(see pic) not sure if it is designed this way. And the length.

Olds was a company that existed from the early 1900's till the late 70's. They actually made more than one million instruments in that time.
I have enjoyed and owned most of their trombone models during my playing years. One of the nice things about Olds is the variety of choices in their professional lines. The same thing exists in the trumpet line. The Recordings and Mendez models seem to be the most popular and most expensive.
Rafael Mendez was probably the most famous artist to ever play and put his name on an Olds instrument. He barnstormed the country in the 50's and 60's with his two sons who also played trumpet. My wife actually heard him play in high school and still owns a Mendez long cornet that she got right after he came through their area. The Mendez trumpet however is the instrument in demand From the original Olds catalog; Designed at Olds with the help of Rafael Mendez. The result is a trumpet player's trumpet. From pedal tones to unbelievably high register the response is even and has unusual carrying power and positive control. A new concept in balance, light weight, full tone and original design.
Lightning fast valve action, medium large bore, both first and third valve trigger tuning mechanisms, special light-weight brass alloy for extra strength, valve assembly centered for balance and comfort, distinctive mouthpiece taper for even response in all registers, gold plated finger buttons. One of my quintet trumpet players played this for a month before I pried it out of his fingers and thought it played very easily. I can attest that it played in tune with a warm sound that turned brilliant as he poured the air to it. It played well into the extreme upper register. It is in superb condition with the only flaw being a fingernail size lacquer spot above the middle valve in.

All trumpets manufactured today& in the past are copies of the French made Besson models Meha& Brevete’ The French Besson trumpet was made in France prior to WWII& it had lightning-fast valve action& a very pure tonality in all ranges. Olds trumpets, in my opinion, came closer to these characteristics than most other trumpet manufacturers of the time, much like the qualities of the Stradivarius violins. This Olds Mendez trumpet.

Item Description I am offering a 1960 Olds Mendez Bb trumpet with a serial number of 330901. It has a few dings and dents here and there along with numerous areas of missing lacquer and spots of oxidation around the trim bands where the tuning slides and the horn meet on either side of the rubber gasket. And of course the customary scuffs and scratches consistent with an instrument of this age. All of these issues are primarily noticeable by the player while holding the trumpet. From a few feet away it looks very nice. Even better is the amazing sound.Which is very centered and forceful. I have replaced all of the corks in both water keys, the throw gaskets on the first and third tuning slides, and all of the components on all of the valves, with the exception of the brass valve guides.
They seemed just fine and I couldn't see replacing. Brass with plastic. I will include the plastic ones. I noticed that the middle valve button is not original to the horn.
It almost looks like a complete match, but it’s not. Also, as a pro trumpet player myself, I believe that somewhere down the line the valves will need to be rebuilt. They function just ok, not super smooth like when this horn was newer. It’s 55 years old.
It comes in a great trumpet case that was, I’m sure, the Deluxe option back in the day. It has the classic Olds Burnt orange/copper fuzzy lining, very nice condition, side handle and padded leather trim. There are a few nicks and scuffs but very well built, like a tank, and heavy. I have included 28 pictures, 12 in the listing and 16 more below. Thanks for looking Payment is expected within 3 days.
