Just stumbled across this and I vaguely remember reading a not so pleased review of this horn? Has anyone ever played this? Or the other 6V Cerveny F tuba the 851-6?
What did you think of these horns if you did play them, do you have pictures of the horns?
Cerveny 661-6 F tuba, anyone played one?

Re: Cerveny 661-6 F tuba, anyone played one?
IIRC, the 661 had a very good sound, but weird intonation (gonna need the 5th and 6th valves a lot). Also consider the price... Not sure the last time that website was updated, but the new price back in 2010(!) was about $6,000.
These days, it'll cost even more, and there are probably a lot of other options available for less money. Could be a gamble.
