Rafael Mendez Los Angeles Trumpet – Olds (LA Model)

Great playing vintage Olds Rafael Mendez trumpet, made in Los Angeles — these LA models are known to be more desirable than the later Fullerton versions.

This horn has that classic Olds feel with a rich, centered tone and strong projection. Perfect for mariachi, lead work, or anyone who appreciates that vintage sound.

Horn is in good overall condition. Valves are smooth and responsive, slides move freely, and it plays great. Shows normal cosmetic wear for its age (lacquer wear and small marks as shown), but nothing that affects performance.

Comes with a Challenger case & mouthpiece.
