Navillus WP Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I own an Olds Ultratone baritone (w/ horizontal piston/rotary valves) and play it regularly .... with great pleasure. I use a Yahama 48 mouthpiece because I'm playing 3rd baritone parts in an alumni corps.. Many Alumni and Senior corps still use G-bugles. Kanstul provides a special edition of "Custom Classic" two-valve models made exclusively for the U.S. Marines Drum & Bugle Corps - each engraved with "THE COMMANANT'S OWN." I play a 2001 model of the Commandant's Own G-baritone that was traded in. Quote
MaxOut1973 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Why don't you contact Kanstul and see if they can help...my understanding is their founder Ziggy Kanstul came from the OLDS company so there is a connection between the two... Quote
HornsUp Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Maintainence - interior : like any other valved brass instrument. exterior : like the chrome on a motorcycle, but don't bother waxing. Kanstul is not equipped to service your Ultratone. Zig left the Olds company 40 years ago, and the factory closed their doors forever in 1979. Contact me, via PM on this forum, for availability of specific parts. I have been buying up everyone's complete stashes of Ultratone parts for the last 17 years. Have lots of rotary parts - and know how to align 'em. Quote

Navillus WP Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Ellis Music in Vermont refurb'ed both of my baritones (an Olds Ultratone CHROME and a Getzen Titleist.) Both are piston+rotary. Rebuild water valves (pads+springs), took out dents, new valve springs, cleaned out innards, cleaned/buffed exterior. I could not be happier with the outcome on either. One week turn-around. The repair shop crew was FASCINATED by the "old-timey" bugles and we played them together. http://ellismusic.com/company_info.php Edited May 20, 2011 by Navillus WP Quote
Navillus WP Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 FTFY Not for nuthin' .... but do you understand what this expression is used to convey in radio communication or Morse Code? Fox-Tango-Fox-Young (FTFY) is used to communicate annoyed frustration: "F-this, F-you." (Just in case you ever get an adverse response to it....) Carry on. Quote
JimF-LowBari Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Just re-read and realize we don't know what configuration the OP has... Wondering since I have a Olds Duratone (flat finish) myself... oh yeah... need to send a PM 'bout that rotor... Edited May 20, 2011 by JimF-LowBari Quote
