Re: "Wunderlich" fixer-upper (might be a Cerveny)

Could be. But, as far as I can tell, Siebenbrunn wound up in East Germany after the war. It is very close to Markneukirchen, which is fairly close to the German-Czech border, and not that far from Kraslice, where Cerveny is/was based.

Re: Mit Wagner Tuben

Anyway- very well played. According to the video notes, the actual tuba is a Meinl-Weston 197/2 BBb, and the "Wagnertuben" are Alexanders.

And you can set up YouTuba to translate the closed captioning to English, though it's hit-or-miss at times.
