Olds Ambassador trombone

Here's another one of those posts where you might ask "why the heck are you posting about this horn?"
Well as much as I adore the vintage instruments of yesteryear I have to pay some respect to the student instruments like this Olds Ambassador trombone.
They're not uncommon.  You can find one of these pretty easily,  the cool thing is they're built like tanks,  play decently,  and will just keep on truckin'!
This model was from the Fullerton Ca days,  previous to that they were made in Los Angeles (I believe the build quality was even better in the LA days).
The horn sports your typical small bore/small bell student setup.

If you think good music can't be played on one of these look up Don Drummond,  a famous Jamaican Ska player, one of my favorites,  who apparently played one of these!  I'm sure he only played it out of necessity, being poor and isolated,  but he can sure make it sing!

Also to note with this horn is the original brown molded plastic case,  classic 70's stuff here.
