Vintage Cerveny "Piggy"

- average size is approx. 150kb
Cerveny Piggy:
4 valve CC
late 70s/very early 80s vintage.. serial 13XXX, which I don't think means anything. Bell engraving tells of vintage, though.
VERY good condition, some lacquer wear at contact points, minor blemishes that
don't seem to affect the horn's playability
Also:
Altieri Gig Bag
Home-made Flight case.
I've flown with it 4 times in the last few months to a couple of gigs and auditions.. the case isn't as pretty as it was before, but it protects the horn. Has wheels and a leather strap for pulling it(though Delta Airlines has the handle from the strap!) Weighs 80.6 pounds with the horn in it, which the airlines do not seem to mind.
This horn is a very fine specimen of a Piggy. I've played it with great success
in Quintet, symphony orchestra, and as the only tubist in a 45 piece Wind
Ensemble, as well as various community groups, pit orchestras, jazz combos, etc.
I've used it on solo literature from Effie Suite to the Vaughan Williams
Concerto, and have won auditions and scholarships on this horn.
Professional references for this horn can be provided on request.
I am asking $2,950 for everything. The horn is currently located in Duluth, Minnesota, but I travel regularly to Minneapolis, Madison, Chicago, Syracuse, Southern Ontario (which can bring me through most anywhere in Michigan), and Montreal, so personal delivery could be arranged for less than it would cost to ship. I will entertain all reasonable offers.
I will be traveling to Syracuse, NY this week, and the horn may be staying
there when I return home.
Please contact me with any further inquiries. Thank you for reading.
