Cerveny 696 vs 601?

Post by LCTuba89 »

What's the difference between these horns? They both share a lot of specs but the 696 is cheaper.

I play a 5V 691 CC, (says 691 on the bell) and absolutely love it, it is the best rotary CC I have ever played. I have no experience with a 696 or 601 though...

696 is the newer model, 601 is older unless it has gone thru multiple generations. same for 691. They all look like the same basic gist, in different wraps. Would be interesting to know what really differentiates.

I have a 601 Which looks like it has a much more open wrap than any horn I see them selling currently.
