Low price, BFD (bare-feet discount).

GOOD horn!

I've never played one of these. And I'm not in the market. But I'm also endlessly curious. Would this fit the bill of a sub-$5000 188-type horn?

Blue felt.

Bare foot.

Am I the only one that can't click on that link and see anything of value? It takes me to a page to set up as a seller on Facebook but not the listing itself

Closer to a older 186 before they started putting the larger bells on them. Great tubas, I had one in college, sold it to get a piggy, and in the last couple of years found another one. Liked it so much I added a 5th valve to it, but only because I had the parts. It's a very playable tuba as a 4 valve. Most cerveny tubas are, as low F is quite in tune played 1-2-4

Works for me. I'm a member of the public group it's in, so that might have something to do with it.

EDIT: I redid the link based on "share post", so try it now.

it didn't work for me on mobile, but on my desktop it was fine

It is lighter than my 186 of the same vintage and has a bigger sound - more Alex like than Mirafone like. From what I understand this is the Cerveny model that Mirafone copied for the 186.

I looked at the owner's FB page, and it appears he sold the horn for $1300.
