Cerveny 653 F

Anyone have one for sale? I guess I would consider something similar as well, but that model seems to have good feedback as a starter.

I had one of these for a couple of years. Very fun to play and almost like a toy, because it was so small, light, and easy to play.

I thought it suffered the same issue as the similar size Yamaha 621, that there is a wall you hit with dynamic range. Anything beyond solo or quintet and you can get buried. In the end I found it to be impractically small for me. It was fun and I don't regret owning it... But I kind of wish I had bought a bigger F tuba from the beginning... And I never did get around to buying another F tuba!

The B&S is in a completely different ballpark, as it should be for more than 2x the price of the Cerveny. You get what you pay for. The Cerveny isn't bad at all, but the B&S is just that much better.

Thanks guys. Someone who is was talking to about a small F a few weeks ago got back in touch with me tonight and I might have a horn. We'll see tomorrow.

Other deal fell through. Still looking for an affordable F.
