Is this 5/4 CC Cherveny bigger than the Cerveny BBb 686 4MR tuba that is presently offered by Cerveny?

Can you tell me how the Cherveny tubas' intonations are in the various ranges?

I am looking for a BB tuba for concert band. Would the BBb Cerveny be as good as the CC Cherveny?

And I thought I was bad enough!

I am very pleased with my Cerveny Kaiser - it can provide a great organ like foundation to the band.

Here you go SinNawlins:

"Is this 5/4 CC Cherveny bigger than the Cerveny BBb 686 4MR tuba that is presently offered by Cerveny?" I'M NOT SURE BUT BOTH ITS BELL AND BOTTOM BOW ARE LARGER THAN MY PT-6P.

"Can you tell me how the Cherveny tubas' intonations are in the various ranges?" ALL TUBAS ARE DIFFERENT--I'D RECOMMEND TRYING EACH INSTRUMENT OUT WITH A TUNER.

"I am looking for a BB tuba for concert band. Would the BBb Cerveny be as good as the CC Cherveny?" IF YOU PLAY BBb BUY A BBb--that would work fine.

I study with Ryan Schultz. I've played this horn. The sound is huge, with a whole lot of "fundamental" tone. Yes, it would work well in a band situation. And, no I don't recall any real intonation issues.

Hi folks.

Thanks for all of the interest and endorsements.

***SOLD***

2) I've been asked several questions and would like to address the issues here so I don't have to write this a bunch of times.

I just returned from a day of Auburn Symphony rehearsals. I was playing my PT-6P with a Laskey 30H. Now that Iâ€™m home, I grabbed my tuner, the Cerveny and my Laskey 30G (I've found this to be one of the best and most efficient mouthpieces for this horn). Pitch is quite good. Sometimes I like to "set low" and play the low A 3rd valve. The second space E is only about 10 cents flat but easy to play in tune just by willing it higher. Both the first and fourth valve slides are accessible and could solve just about any other issue.

In terms of efficiency in the low register and centering in the upper register, this horn compares quite favorably with my PT-6. In my opinion, it might even be easier to play in the low register. I used my "shift" embouchure for pedal CC and all of the notes up to low G, except B, and it roars quite easily. The false tone C# is quite good. Frankly, if I wasn't so set on adding a Pro 2000 to my collection, I'd probably keep this horn.

Like I wrote earlier, some very talented students won a lot of solo competitions with this horn; so I think it is a good all around tuba.
Now that you guys made me move my plants

, I noticed a few dings not visible in the other photos. So, here's the ugliest of the horn:

So, after looking in to it: this horn is a 691--a four valve 691.

The bell is about 19 and 2/3 inches across.

Bump

It's a CC.
