Howdy Tuba Brothers & Sisters!
I am searching for a small Cervany CC Piggy Travel style tuba to use for jazz improv solos in front of a big band or orchestra. I'm retired so I am hoping to find an affordable one! Anyone out there know where I might find one? You can also contact me directly at dr.buddy@icloud.com

Re: WTB Cevany CC "Pigy" Travel Tuba
A Piggy is a specific model. It is by no means a travel tuba, which is the size of a euphonium. (At least the ones I have seen are.)
This is a Piggy. It has a bore over .800" and is about 30+" tall. It is merely wrapped tightly with a small bell diameter. It plays quite big, though.
This is a travel tuba. It is for practicing in hotel rooms and does not make a sound many would want others to hear. (Think: "blat weasel"…)
If you could be a little more specific we could better help you. What you are describing, playing-wise sounds more like one of those Wessex "Tornister" tubas. They come in CC and BBb and I have absolutely no experience with them and have heard very mixed reviews. Here is the CC…

Re: WTB Cevany CC "Pigy" Travel Tuba
The perfect horn you would think would be the Wessex “Mini Jazz” model, much like the Tornister but with a forward facing larger bell and a “duck leg” on the bell to hep with holding it standing up. If his heart is set on CC though, the Mini Jazz is only available BBb.
