I don't think so. There's already too much open bugle there. Even an Eb build might be a squeeze. I would think a CC would be in order. My guess is that this body was probably a 'mistake'.

Looks like it was intended to be a Cerveny 681 C.

That was my thought the first time these came around last month. Unless a buyer had the entire German/Czech style valve section, it might be better used as a source for a bell and put the rest away for future uses.
