I think I've seen that one or one much like it. A few months ago, someone had about 4 Cervenys that were complete but for valve sections.

I was thinking about hooking it up to the air horn under the hood of a Mack truck-- Not sure if it would sound in concert pitch though-- :tuba:

This body is a good start and would be a lot of fun to build into something usable, it would be useful for somebody that has rotors or pistons to throw into it, if I wasn't in school I would snag it. I have valves I could probably use for this but I built a horn last year and I can't justify another one :lol:

Yeah... this one has been running for a looonnnng time! There has always been some question about exactly what it is. Even though the seller is calling it an 'F'... the bugle looks far to long for that. I suspect that these bodies were some sort of 'mistake'.

Well, Dan, it has your name in the headline...a "Bastler" is like a "Tinker," so you might be "der Tubabastler" in German!!

This is still for sale....

I have an silver Eeb tuba with a detachable 5-valve section and leadpipe. Would it be possible to make this fit to my valve section? (so I can change bells...)

And if that is possible will have it any sense/use?
