Olds Recording Bb
Mar 10, 2010 - 1:39 PM - by brassnews
Review by: Oompah1

Horn Review: I recently purchased a refurbished 1954 Olds Recording. This is one great trumpet. The valve response is great and it plays like a dream. I really like the 3rd valve trigger and the offset 2nd valve. I'm not sure why other trumpet makers did not adopt these modifications. It has a unique sound unlike any other trumpet I have ever played. And it is a beauty to look at.

Although the price of these horns has escalated lately, I still think they are well worth every penny. Mine plays as good as or better than any other professional trumpet I have ever played.

Holton ST500 "Al Hirt"
Mar 08, 2010 - 7:01 AM - by brassnews
Review by: okorodeluxe

Horn Review: My Al Hirt Special from 1966 was a beauty to see and to hold. The playing was compared to a Vincent Bach ML. 37 a bit disappointing: stuffy, takes a lot of air to let it sound. I wonder if Al Hirt himself was doing his greatest hits on this instruments :)
The vintage Holton trumpets were well made from quality materials; my Al Hirt had no ret rot after 45 years (!) and the valves where reliable as well. More recent Holton trumpets are definitely worse: Don't buy them if you want to have joy more than a few years.....
The bore size is indeed ML, appr. .459"

Yamaha YTR-6310Z
Mar 08, 2010 - 7:01 AM - by brassnews
Review by: okorodeluxe

Horn Review: I bought the horn second hand, carefully mastered the leadpipe and tuning slide for red rot: None!
But at home I discovered red rot spots in the bell just after the first valve as well the surface of the valves started to disintegrate.... I emailed Yamaha but all silence on that front. Not so good....
Anyway, the 6310Z is a real great player, actually better than the 8310Z but I doubt the Shew horns will survive in the long terms.
The sound is great, if you like a big fat sound the 6310Z can be the horn for you, if you want to purchase a horn for the rest of your life better buy a B&S or a vintage Vincent Bach or Schilke etc.

Conn 22B
Mar 08, 2010 - 7:01 AM - by brassnews
Review by: okorodeluxe

Horn Review: In spite of all bad news about UMI Conn trumpets this horn is a surprise!
Easy to play, a real trumpet sound and made for ages of abuse by unpatient students.
Great value, much better than any Yamaha student horn: the Conn has no red rot after all this years!

Andreas Eastman ETR520S
Mar 05, 2010 - 1:01 PM - by brassnews
Review by: jjmbflat

Horn Review: I was looking for a new horn after an 18 year hiatus from playing. (I've had the same 1969 Holton T602 that I've been playing since 6th grade.) Wanted an intermediate level horn so I tested a Yamaha 4335, a King Silver Flair and the Eastman 520S. The Eastman easily had the best sound (in my humble opinion), and the best price. Got home and just to confirm that I made the right choice, I played a bit on the Eastman and then on the Holton (which I have taken care of and cleaned regularly even though I haven't played much since college). Could not believe how much the Holton seemed to fight me compared to the Eastman. Not to go on a tangent but the Holton is built like a tank, as are a lot of student horns, and the Holton has...
