Hello. I have a really nice Bach 36B that I purchased from Adam Rainey last spring, sn 122XXX. No dents, lacquer removed from the bell flare. Superb slide. A great horn. Flexible, great core to the sound, not too bright.

Does anyone have a 50's or 60's Olds Opera that they would like to trade? My first choice would the Brass version w/o f attachment from the late 50's, but would also be interested in Nickel w/ or w/o f attachment also.

Please let me know.

I have a 1966 in all nickel silver. Scratches and pitting to the finish (contact points) still looks great if one is not real up close. Fantastic slide esp for this age, no dents. Cannot ship in a bag or case unless you include a case, then I will include a bag.

It does have the F atch, valve works fine. This would likely not be a condition match to your 36B, but keep in mind that nickel silver polishes up very nice and bright where the lacquer is missing, and it kind of blends in.

Message me if interested. It's a nice looking horn. I've got quite a bit vested in this Olds (custom mouthpiece shank, etc) so I may need convincing too.
