Olds Ultratone Bugles brochures
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 9:54 pm
Hello, TubeNet -
In a previous thread (GG Contrabass valve setup/fingering) I had asked if anyone knew of a picture of a brochure of Olds Bugles posted anywhere, hoping to see the Olds Ultratone Bugles used by many Drum and Bugle Corps throughout the 1970s. Well, patience is a virtue, and it finally paid off. Someone in a Facebook group I just joined had posted jpg picture sets of a 1970 Olds Ultratone Bugles brochure and a 1978 Olds Bugles brochure from McCormick's Enterprises. I copied the pictures, turned them into two separate pdf files, and posted them on MediaFire for the sake of those of you on this board who would like to look at them. Here are their links -

1987 Olds Bugles brochure from McCormick - http://www.mediafire.com/view/?7jekup4y54odq5g
I have an Olds Ultratone BU-20 piston/rotor Contrabass Bugle as shown in both of these brochures, a momento of my two years marching in the 1983 Geneseo Knights and instructing their horn line in 1995 when they were the Quad City Knights. Unfortunately, it's not in good shape, but I still play it occasionally. Anyway, enjoy the brochures.
