In Reply to: best BBb tuba I've ever played... posted by bloke on January 06, 2004 at 17:05:04:
A 1910 Cerveny Kaiser with the four rotary valves (placed under the level tops and rotated 90 degrees).
This horn was used by a Hollywood tuba player for decades, bought by Joe Hebert, a superb artist, and sold to David Mayfield, a fine friend and musician, who has played it for over 3 decades. I would quickly switch back to BBb fingerings to own that horn.
