Hello. Why we are on the OLDS Studio subject. Has anyone been able to play the older version Studio trumpet and the later version of it in nickel plate. The latter was wrote up to be a sort of hybrid type trumpet. I just saw a 1950's model Studio go far $500.00 on e-bay. Also the nickel plated t-10's are selling real well also. It does seem the older ones are more sought after. But being I like cornets. I was curious how this latter model could sound like a cornet to trumpet and build resistance has you forte in the high range. :?:

The bright, free-blowing Studio is true of the Los Angeles and early Fullerton models, but it should be noted, however, that as of 1966 Olds totally reworked the concept of their Studio model, rendering it a dark, sonorous, cornet-like trumpet finished in nickel plate and offering a degree of resistance to the blow. It wasn't anywhere near as successful in this configuration as it was in its former configuration, and Olds dropped the Studio from their line entirely in the early 70s. Their most consistent trumpet seems to be their ubiquitous Super which was always a great sounding trumpet, no matter what the year.

I'd go with the Studio-they're bright, and very free blowing.
