Not quite three octaves, but close enough, and all this on a previously damaged vintage horn: I have never been able to do this even on a brand new instrument regardless of how hard I tried. How does it sound? With trusty electronic tuner at hand, I checked all the usual tuning notes: PERFECT! Then starting at bottom F#, slowly and deliberately played every note in the chromatic scale to top E (above top C) with intonation precision and unbelievable stability. Morrie repaired the crushed bell, built a new lead pipe from scratch, rebuilt the (unique to Olds) pull ring tuning slide mechanism that controls the length of the bell, then set out to make it look a million dollars. Disaster struck and it was badly damaged in transit from the USA, so much so that it was difficult to force much of a sound out of it. I finally found a much sought-after Olds Recording Cornet.
