Another post in the general section asks about the difference between the B & S and the Cerveny 'stencils'. This is an example of a Cerveny one with Alexander influence.edsel585960 wrote:https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/msg/ ... 65775.html" target="_blank
The bow guards... the backing plates of the attachments... some of the Alex tubas I've seen had bow guards that went inside the ferrules instead of stopping short of them... just a variety of things that weren't common to the B & S-built ones. The routing of the tuning circuits. The B & S 4th wrap has a very wiiiide 4th slide that runs along the backside of the main bows while the Alex tubas are pretty much 'tucked in' like the Miraphones.royjohn wrote:Hi Dan,
I understand the Cerveny-built part (1 & 4 valve tubing coming out straight along the long axis of the horn) but what is the Alexander influence?
Thx,
