Sold for just over $2,000... just under the price of a new Wessex tornister.

Anyone here win the Cerveny?

What a bargain: the real deal instead of a dime a dozen knockoff. I too am interested in its new home, there aren't many of these old treasures around.

Yes. Now I know of two BBb's and two Bb's. Wish I'd had the spare cash for this 4V baritone.

Revisiting this - you know about the Tucci four valve redesign of the Cerveny 3V BBb tornister built by Schmidt, right? The one the Chinese are knocking off ...
Bottom of the list.

This horn is in pretty good shape (all things considered). I saw another one on da Bay three or four years ago that was a baritone and was something of a wreck. Offhand, I can't remember if it was 3v or 4v but 3v rings a bell.

SSSSHHHHH!!

Don't let our sponsors hear this!

I pointed this out several times, even going back and quoting individuals about certain threads where this exact instrument was brought up. Was told it never occurred or that a certain sponsor didn't know about it... despite posting about it. Since then, threads/posts have been edited...

SSSHHHH!
