Amati Kraslice Clarinet Serial Number

I purchased my first tuba this year with the hopes of learning enough to play TubaChristmas 2008 in Portland, OR. I've been learning mostly on my own, although I certainly realize I need a better teacher. The tuba in question is a 4-valve rotary with S-linkages, bore of 0.795, bell diameter 15 3/4 inches and length of 40 inches. It has had one previous owner, a former student of John Griffiths who I'm told helped him select the instrument when it was purchased new around 1979 from Boosey & Hawkes(?) in Canada. It is stenciled as an Amati Kraslice, although my local music repair shop (Wally's Music) tells me that because of the rotary valves it is probably a Cerveny. Most of the lacquer is still present.

I've had the tuba ultrasonically cleaned, valves oiled and linkages adjusted. I've also had it briefly played by the tubist for the Portland Symphony Orchestra who confirmed it looked like a Cerveny instrument, indicated that the tuba was in good condition and did not seem to have any obvious playing flaws (listening to him play made me realize just how good this tuba can sound).

I'm including a picture of the Amati Kraslice for your viewing pleasure.

The Amati-Denak company apparently uses this system of naming and numbering its models: On their website all of the rotary brasses are Cerveny and all piston brasses are Amati. However the denomination of the rotary instruments is more complex. The more valves, the more nickel silver trim, and the more advanced the links in the valve transmission system, the higher the first digit in the model #. And only the models with a first digit higher than or equal with 5 are engraved Cerveny.

The 4XX lines and lower are engraved Amati. However some Amati rotary instruments are superb players, which is not too surprising, as their acoustical design is the exact same as with the corresponding Cerveny models.
