I have it now! It's a Cerveny Tuba and it has an AMAZING sound and tuning!

I wish more things like this (cool old Kaiser tubas) existed in the US!

Aha, you got it so quickly!
Very cool tuba. Odd that the seller called it a Swiss tuba. Maybe a Swiss retailer that sold it initially?
How old is it? Quite different design to 'modern' Cerveny's

Norbert Wahlich was born in Graslitz.
He worked for Cerveny. This Instrument is a 100% made by Cerveny... the picture with both tubas are both Cerveny too. The left one is in the museum in Berlin.
Amazing sound and nearly perfect intonation!
