That Buescher could be handy in a crowded pit. I like your collection, in particular I was interested in the Cerveny Kaiser.

It looks like the same model as the one I bought from Fred Gottlieb. One difference was the badge, which included mention of the expos, said it was made in BOHEMIA. Fred thought it had been made about 1909. I sold the one I had to Ron at Schilke's when I headed to Boston in 1970. I heard he had rebuilt it and silver plated it and that it came out very nice. I had purchased it to use while my King was being rebuilt by Gerry at Karnes.

Very interesting. How is it to play?

Dunno. I didn't actually play the horn. However... now that I know who owns it, I may have a chance to sample it at the Winter meeting of 'Windjammers' in Bradenton, FL on January 17, 1012.

BTW.... 'Windjammers' is a blast! Days and days of nothing but circus music. http://www.circusmusic.org

Great image, Klaus! Thanks for posting.

That tuba is completely reversed. Was that configuration very common?

Hardly very common. There used to be a photo at the MW site showing the late father of the current owner with a similarly wrapped tuba.
