![]() ![]() My first horn with an F-attachment was an Olds Ambassador. ![]() Olds instruments were extremely well made and any model would be a good purchase. There are some Getzen instruments (Super Deluxe in particular) that were used as starter horns (I used one in elementary school in the 1950s) Some were intended to be used by beginners: Holton Collegiate, Pan American (Conn student model), Gladiator (King student model). There are a lot of really good instruments to look for. Especially ones from the 1930s and 1940s. ![]() Those two caveats aside, older instruments can be very good starters. This can be fixed, but it's another expense. Low Pitch was at A=435 and even with the uning slide all the way in it's a little low. High pitch means the instrument is almost in B rather than Bb and the tuning slide is WAY too short to compensate. There were two standards: High Pitch and Low Pitch. Some vintage horns can be in really bad shape and may be very hard to fix.Īlso note that tuning standards were a little different 100 years ago. ![]()
