my guess is it's a Cerveny. I suppose some bands do march with these......

Re: Old upright Rotary
Green vinyl, probably oak...?
Oh wait, there's a tuba back there?!
I'd guess it is not a Cerveny, because of the kranz. It's a gamble moat likely, but I think the jeanz might be a good sign that it was a pretty okay tuba for it's time.

Re: Old upright Rotary
Well, that's why I said it was a guess. It has a couple bids, hope one of us gets it.

Re: Old upright Rotary
If someone on here got it, let us know what make it actually was. ( I was too cheap to win the auction) Inquiring minds want to know.
