I think it is for sale on Dillon's website.

I checked the Dillon website and it indeed appears that the horn is listed there. I recognize the custom work done to the horn and unless someone did exactly as I did to a Cerveny 601 CC...
I hope someone picks this horn up to use. It is a very good player and I sold it because it was mostly just sitting around. It's not as nimble or versatile a horn (for me at least) as my Nirschl 6/4 but it makes an incredible sound. It's wonderful for the larger ensembles.

Hi Jay!
How are you? This IS indeed your old custom Cerveny. I'm selling because the horn was just to big for the quintet and smaller ensembles I was playing in. I did have a couple more modifications done which I think improved an already great horn. I had an AGR (adjustable gap receiver) added. This allowed more flexibility with the sound and also allowed for larger shank mouthpieces to fit. The original shank was a bit small for my equipment. I also had a quarter added to the 4th valve paddle for easier pinky finger reach. Hope you are doing well down there in sunny FL Jay.
If any one is interested or has questions regarding the horn, please don't hesitate to contact me. The is flexible.
Thanks,
Ken
