Walter Sear/Cerveny BBb tuba
4 rotary valves
guessing it dates from the 60s or 70s
Made in Czechoslovakia by Cerveny
Legendary tubas
Beautiful, big sound
great for a doubler
all the slides pull
valves are great
dings here and there from city use. Somebody removed the bottom bow protector, probably more comfy like this.
I've used this tons but I'm playing more Eb nowadays.
4/4 size, 16" bell, it's a pretty tall horn, not sure what the bore is but plays on the big side to me.
comes with a newish Pro Tec gig bag
$2000 in Brooklyn, NY. no shipping. come and play it.
