I don't know about pricing... but i have one i bought from dave fedderly for a reasonable price and the 5 rotor model i own is great.. low notes terrific-wonderful intonation all across the register and the high notes sing. i don't find the horn heavy at all. played tschaik 4 in rehearsal on it only switched to HB6 for concert because of oomph need on the last descending scale.

Dead serious. Love the Cerveny, I'm never parting with it, but I want a larger F, too.

Thanks
I believe that the new one at Baltimore Brass was in the $9xxx range.

If I had not bought a new F a few years ago I would have bought this one in a second. Every one of these horns I have played has been killer.

I thought that horn had the 5th valve lever on the right thumb. Bloke is right though, the old low 5th paddle was/is a pain.

Why are these horns not more popular? I have only met one person who actually owns one.
