Cerveny CTH 721-4R Bb-Tenorhorn

Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:

The Cerveny 721-4R is more of an all-rounder, a classic tenor horn that still responds well in the middle and low registers and has a nice sound. For the high register, I would rather recommend the B&S Bb tenor horn 3032/2-L ( https://www.kirstein.de/Tenorhoerner/B-S-B-Tenorhorn-3032-2-L.html ) or the Miraphone Bb-47 tenor horn ( https://www.kirstein.de/Tenorhoerner/Miraphone-Bb-47-Tenorhorn-Goldmessing.html ). Both are classically 3-valve, but can also be ordered as 4-valve. Furthermore, you should choose a smaller mouthpiece if you want to go high.

Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:

The bore of the instruments plays a major role. With the 13.2 mm bore, the response is easier and playing in the higher pitches is easier. For tenor horn players who have to play very high for a long time, the instrument is perfect. However, the sound volume, especially in the middle and low registers, is smaller than that of the baritone with the large bore. With a 15.2 mm bore, you have a much larger sound volume, which is clearly audible in the middle and low registers. In the high registers, playing is more difficult, but is rewarded with a huge sound. Especially it depends on which voice the instrumentalist plays. Depending on whether he plays the tenor horn or baritone voice, I recommend the respective instrument. As an advanced instrumentalist with a powerful embouchure and proper air control, I recommend the baritone with the 15.2 mm bore.
