1958 F.E. Olds & Son Mendez Gold Lacquered Professional Bb Trumpet with Mouthpiece and Case Used - Good Condition
Made 65 years ago, when the Olds facility was located in Fullerton, California, this vintage trumpet shows some years cosmetically, but not in its immense sound. In the late 1940s Mexican virtuoso solo trumpeter, Rafael Méndez, was signed on to be an Olds clinician and endorsor. The Mendez trumpet was put into production in 1952 and was based off of the F. Besson Meha trumpet used by Mendez. These were professional trumpets accepted as equal to or better than what was currently on the market. The Mendez trumpet was used and endorsed by the likes of David Jandorf and Clyde McCoy. Ideal for jazz, classical, or pop music, this F.E. Olds Mendez trumpet will cover that ground and more!
