Hay newbie, This is a good question because in the Chech (or slavic)
language the word is pronounced churrrrrrveny with a roll of the toung.
this according to an AT&T translator who told Me that this family name
translates to the color "Red". This must have bin handy durring the years
of comunisum.
You should look up the history of this compony's founder as He practally
invented the modern tuba - or it's current configuration. (at arround 1840)
I hope I've peaked your curiosity.
