Looks pretty cool. Possibly a cool franken tuba body, But the owner says it has a 14.5mm bore which seems way too small.
Please let me know if you have any details?

The word 'Stuffy' comes to mind whatever it is.

I own two Cerveny stencils that are 4 valve Eb's that look very similar to that one. Not stuffy in the least. Big, fat, easy blowing low end. The rest of the range is very nice too.

I'm not believing the bore size, if the instrument is 40+ inches tall, to make that picture work in my brain. Where in the ad did the guy specify the bore?

I would ask for a re-measuring, but I don't completely rule out a bore size that small.
The (yeah...even outer slide) tubing looks to be quite small...ie. baritone/euphonium-size-ish.

I private messages him. He said that was the bore of the first valve. I agree it looks too big.
