Here is my Olds marching trombone. My Dad bought me this instrument when I was in the 10th grade. As I remember, it was purchased from California Music Co. and came by way of the UPS truck --- not the Welles Fargo Wagon. It has spent most of it's life in it's case unceremounously as a tv table. I have let various students borrow it because it was so "shiny". Considering it's age, it's in pretty good condition.
