Cerveny Piggy:

  • 4 valve CC

  • late 70s/very early 80s vintage.. serial 13XXX, which I don't think means anything. Bell engraving tells of vintage, though.

  • VERY good condition, some lacquer wear at contact points, minor blemishes that don't seem to affect the horn's playability


    • Also:

  • Altieri Gig Bag

  • Home-made Flight case.


    • I've flown with it 4 times in the last few months to a couple of gigs and auditions.. the case isn't as pretty as it was before, but it protects the horn. Has wheels and a leather strap for pulling it(though Delta Airlines has the handle from the strap!) Weighs 80.6 pounds with the horn in it, which the airlines do not seem to mind.

    This horn is a very fine specimen of a Piggy. I've played it with great success in Quintet, symphony orchestra, and as the only tubist in a 45 piece Wind Ensemble, as well as various community groups, pit orchestras, and extensively in jazz combos.  I've used it on solo literature from Effie Suite to the Vaughan Williams Concerto, and have won auditions and scholarships on this horn.  Professional references for this horn can be provided on request.

    I am asking $2,850 for everything. The horn is located in Syracuse, NY. I would gladly welcome anyone who is interested to come and try it in person- you will not be disappointed! I am willing to arrange delivery to pretty much anywhere in New York state, or in bordering states within reason. If the timing is right, I can probably arrange personal delivery to pretty much anywhere in the midwest or southern Ontario.

    Please contact me with any further inquiries. Thank you for reading.
