Two of my students have them. It is a 3/4 sized three valved piston BBb tuba. They did make a four valved version too. I do not know if the 4 valved model had a different model nmber. The horns plays fairly well for a small horn with generally good intonation and decent valve action. When Olds went out of business they sold the tooling to Selmer, who sold it as a Bach Tuba for awhile back in the late 80's. I think most of the Bach tubas now are Yamahas stencils though.
