Help finding an Olds Opera Premiere trombone

Hello musicians,

I'm heart broken I sold my trombone when I was young and now I want to buy it back before I die.

It was a nickle plated Olds Opera Premier. It was the bore and bell size of a bass trombone but no F trigger.

O-15's come up for sale pretty regularly, but if you've got your heart set on one from '56, that's a tall order. You might want to contact Noah Gladstone at BrassArk.com; I don't see one on his website right now, but he may have a line on one.

How about '62?

Again, being too specific on the year limits your chance of success. Just finding an O-15 (any year) might be a lot easier. I don't see lot of these coming up for sale.

Another place to check is Dillon Music in New Jersey.
