This is a plug for someone to get a really good CC tuba.

There is a Cerveny CC (piggy) on eBay right now. It is a GREAT playing horn. I have personal knowledge of the horn. It is I who purchased it from Bill Rose (retired Houston Symphony tuba player). He used the horn his last year in the orchestra and then he sold it to me. I used it for 17 years in every conceivable freelance situation you can think of. Mr. Rose sold it to me because he wanted someone who was primarily a classical player to have it. He hand picked the horn from over 20 at Giardinelli in 1976. The tone quality and pitch are really quite exceptional on it.

OK, it only has 4 valves. If you are creative, a fifth valve can be added. I just never got around to doing it. The only notes I could not play were the low D and Db. Everything else is surprisingly well in tune. The low E is admittedly a bit sharp.

Thanks for taking a look at it. Someone will get a wonderful instrument. I hope it is one of you.
