Cerveny Opera tuba BBb

Post by Baalphegor »

I'm looking to sell my BBb Opera Cerveny tuba. Model is CBB883 5PZX II. It's a five rotary valve tuba, plays awesomely and has a hard case.
I had the valves lapped at the end of last year. There is no damage that I am aware of, the only thing that would need is an adjustment to the 2nd valve tuning slide.
Due to changing commitments, it has only had two gigs, hence it's great condition.
I'm selling as I need a bigger house to fit all of my instruments.
It's in Wellington, NZ although I will be flying to Houston at the end of February.
Looking for $5,500 USD or offers.

I have always liked the opera design from Cerveny. I'm a CC player but someone will find this a delightful tuba to have. Best of luck with the sale!

Thanks, it is a great tuba. Very suitable for pit orchestra or smaller ensemble. I was surprised at how well it plays.
