What Cerveny model did you get? I won't disclose how much I paid for my brand new Cervery 781-4MR Rosebrass model. I will disclose I love the horn and it has already gained a great many compliments in the five days it's been here, and they weren't just about how pretty it looks. It sings and has a wonderful warm tone, plus you can really pop some low F's to Eb's with it. I can tell the brass is thinner and more delicate that some close competitors charging a few hundred to a grand more, but I don't mind since the only time it's going near a High School is if my band does some saturday recording in the bandroom. The high register is very clean as well. I will be able to do some great solos and quintet work with this horn someday soon I hope!

If you like yours why worry about what others use or like? I once owned a Cerveny made rose brass 4 valve BBb tuba (model 786 equivalent). I paid over $4000 in the 1990s, but I can't remember exactly when. It was a beautiful horn with the rose brass body and nickel silver trim, valve casings, and leadpipe. I found that I needed more resistance than it had, so I bought a different horn, but there are times that I regret selling it. It had a very warm tone and was beautiful.

As for what people play, check the older threads for topics such as - what tuba do you play or more receintly one that was titled something like - how long have you had your baby. These will yield much information.

I assume that is a Cerveny F. I have tried the CC and BB flat Cerveny tubas and thought that they were very good.

Enjoy your new tuba for many happy years!

I just want to find out wicht tubas are the most popular in other countrys

This is not scientific. If you can believe that the tubas are sorted by popularity as it says, then this will give you a partial answer for USA for the tubas that this place sells.
