Re: V F CERVENY 693 BB Flat (1980) Tuba for sale $4100.00
I'm sure this one is very good. the period between 1965 and 1980 was the golden era for Cerveny. I'd love to see a photo of it. I've never seen a 693 from that era, I didn't even know they made them from back then. All the ones I have seen are post 1990, which is not the golden era at all.
Yep, I'm Mark

When you make a post, there is a tab called attachments. You can upload several photos (if they are less than 200mb). Or you can host them on Google or any other photo storage site and post the album link here

Re: V F CERVENY 693 BB Flat (1980) Tuba for sale $4100.00
Those worked. So... I have to ask. Who told you this tuba was made in 1980? It's newer than 2000 based on the linkage, engraving, and spatula design

Re: V F CERVENY 693 BB Flat (1980) Tuba for sale $4100.00
Sorry, now that I think about it I had a Conn 12j that I sold last summer. I bought the horn from my private teacher from the 1980's he had bought it new. I just started playing again last year since I graduated in 1986.I had bought the Conn on Facebook marketplace to make sure that I wanted to play again and then I bought the Cerveny last Year. I love the horn and it plays well, but I am 56 with a bad shoulder and I feel it after playing this horn for a while.
He had the horn serviced regularly at Dillon music in Woodbridge NJ.

So yes, but not a little piggy what goes to market.
More like a large boar that hunters brag about encountering.
(trying to think of a more appropriate literary reference than Animal Farm, but some how "4 valves good 2 valves bad" is stuck in my head)
Got a chance to play round with a 693 (not quite so well maintained as this looks to be) and it was a blast!
