V. F. Cerveny and Synove 3/4 F Tuba w/ Gig Bag $2700

V. F. Cerveny and Synove CFB 653-5PX 3/4 5 valve F Tuba.

I'm asking $2,700.

It's a lightweight tuba that is perfect for solo and small ensembles, but I've also played in larger groups without any issues.

This tuba is in really good condition. There are just a couple small dings on the bell (shown in pictures) that are not very noticeable and don't affect the playing at all. Other than that, it's nearly perfect.

It has some typical rotor F tendencies, but it plays very well. I've played this tuba in many paid gigs. It's a great tuba, especially at this price point. I'm only selling because I'm moving to an Eb and can't justify two bass tubas.

I'm am including the Altieri gig bag that is in excellent shape.

Oh, my apologies. I forgot to put that. I'm near Tulsa, OK, but I can drive a ways to meet a serious buyer.

These little Cerveny F tubas are the perfect recital horns! And I personally like the left hand "thumb" valve because it lets you wrap your fingers around and hold the tuba better than with a left hand finger paddle.
