The 1952 F.E. Olds Studio trumpet represents a highly sought-after sweet spot for vintage brass buyers. Built in Los Angeles during the "Golden Era" of Olds manufacturing, it incorporates premium materials and tight tolerances that rival professional modern horns.
The F.E. Olds Studio Bb Trumpet (Model T-10) is a vintage brass instrument first introduced in 1948 alongside the popular Ambassador line.
Key Specifications & Features

- Valves: Fast-action nickel-plated pistons with nickel-plated spring barrels
- Intonation Aids: Equipped with a 3rd slide ring
What makes this era of Olds Studio's so Desireable?
- The "Two-Tone" Appeal: A distinguishing aesthetic feature of the early Studio is its nickel-silver bell flare fused to a brass body. This looks striking and provides a brilliant, clear projection while fortifying the bell rim against damage.
- Valve Mechanics: Built to the legendary "one tolerance" standard championed by master designer Foster Reynolds. The valve blocks were built so well that custom trumpet builders today still harvest vintage 1950s Olds valve sections for high-end custom builds.
This instrument has been ultrasonically cleaned and inspected. No issues have been found with this trumpet, and it plays amazing. Has that very uniquely specific sound that only comes from a nickel bell flare on a regular brass bell. This instrument has a case, but no mouthpiece. Come check it out before and test this marvelous instrument!
