Up for sale is a 1959 R-15 Olds Recording made by FE Olds and Son Tenor Trombone-Fullerton Calif. The horn has serial #339xxx and is in great condition.  The bell is made of Olds Rey-o-loy brass, with solid nickel silver and red brass braces. There are a few pings on the instrument with a light wave on the right side of the bell engraving.  There is some light scratching throughout, but with slight
pitting at the grips. The slide action is very good and the stockings are very good, but with a very minor crease on one of the tips.  Otherwise, very clear with low wear.
This instrument is not lacquered; therefore, this instrument may have to be polished periodically (we recommend using Weiman METAL Polish)
.  The slide bore is .495/.510 and the bell flare is 8". The Recording was built as Olds' 'top of the line' small bore tenor trombone...it plays everything well; it plays all ranges of volume and with lots of power when needed and with a smooth tone.  This horn is a precise player; it slots very well and has very good intonation. It comes with a mouthpiece(may not be the one pictured) and a used, modified King case.  Thanks for looking and check out our other items!
