How do you pronounce “Cerveny”?

[DonO.]

Thank you everyone for your responses! Especially useful to me were those who have familiarity with the Czech language. Back when Cerveny tubas we’re in their heyday- the 80’s- I purchased a 4 rotary valve BBb Amati which was actually made by Cerveny. Tuba Exchange was importing them in lots of 6 at the time, I got to try out all 6 from a fresh shipment before I picked out the one I liked best. According to Vince, previous to this horn coming out, Amati horns were all piston and Cerveny were all rotors, but for some reason they decided to come out with this rotor model branded Amati. I loved that horn. I regret selling it. But I can distinctly remember Vince putting the accent on the middle syllable, as did my teacher. That never seemed right to me. My grandparents were Hungarian and lived in a multiethnic Eastern European neighborhood. Somehow, in his youth, my grandfather served in the Czech army even though he was Hungarian. They couldn’t speak Czech fluently but they could understand it when it was spoken. They used to tell a rather amusing story about a Czech neighbor family saying nasty things about them on their back porch in Czech, thinking that they couldn’t understand what they were saying, but they understood every word! Anyway, just based on what I know about Eastern European pronunciations in general, the middle syllable stress never seemed right to me. And Hungarian is like Czech in that many letters have pronunciation-altering marks of various sorts above them, not available on a standard keyboard. So I know it’s difficult, but the least we could do is get the accent right. That soft quasi “d” flip of the tongue Doc was talking about-I can remember my grandparents making such sounds when speaking Hungarian. Unfortunately I never picked it up. All of the Hungarian words I know have something to do with food!

I apologize for phrasing my original question poorly. When I asked “How do you pronounce” I actually meant to ask “What is the proper pronunciation?”.
