5-ROTARY Cerveny (Czech-made) American-STYLE bell-front baritone

[bloke]

5th valve seems (??) to be an independent compensating length (perhaps to add to the 1st or 2nd valves for combinations which involve #4...??)

Not strange enough for him.

Ok, fine... This plus 3 other similar ones, in different keys, so he and his fellow quadruplets can sit side by side and play a 2-minute tune for a YouTube video that we will all jaw drop over.

I'm very interested to know how the lower register is on this horn! I play some of those oberkrainer bass lines in a German kombo...might need to look into a horn like this. I just use my Yamaha 321 since my oval is un-usable in that register...and my Yamaha 642 doesn't get enough "pop."

Still on the road. A lot of traffic

With temperatures hovering around 7° C. - and intermittent rain showers - we all very sincerely encourage you to exercise extreme caution on the autobahn.

I went on a polka video kick for a while a few years ago. Some of them had 5 and 6 valve, INLINE, piston valve sets; very strange. A guy I knew told me his music shop got called by some guy in Europe looking to buy a pallet of King baritones. The only 4 valve American baritone I've ever played was an iffily restored Conn, that did not have a good low register but, to be fair, it didn't play well at all. The 3 front valve Yamaha plays well but with 3 valves.
I always wanted to get a 4 valve King, have a large shank leadpipe installed and a 5th valve added. JC Sherman did a 5 valve King, I think one of his students has it.

You could get a large shank receiver so you can use bass trombone mouthpieces. I have one I really like for jazz bass trombone- a Yamaha 60B. Nice wide rim, fairly shallow, lots of pop. I think Yamahas are one number smaller than Schilkes, this is definitely not a Schilke 60 variant. I seem to recall reading that it's a German style bass trombone mouthpiece.
