I was under the impression that Cerveny and Allora were the same factory.  Perhaps this is not true, or at least a question that Klaus might answer.  I'm a huge fan of Cerveny's in the price to quality ratio.  I've played a lot of good one's in the last 20 years and in a perfect world I'd still own my "piggy" if I hadn't needed the money for a bigger horn.   I don't know anything about the quality of their new horns, but the one's I've played (and the one I owned) were all pre 1980 and were good to great.  The one's I played in the Czech republic were even better, but it's a long way to go for a horn.  I'll sign off here as maybe the only "Cerveny lover" on this board.  Good Luck.  Peace.
