Id like to know how people feel about these euphs, particularly because they look stunning, and from what I can gather not too expensive either. I recently "discovered" them and I might go visit on my next trip to Poland (whenever that may be.) I have heard that at least in the past, they have not had the best reputation, flimsy metal and lousy valves, have they gotten better? Thoughts?

Cerveny was Czech not Polish, and they have recently gone out of business, so they aren't making them anymore. Josef Lidl has apparently hired most of their workforce and are making most of their designs under the Lidl label, so they should be roughly equivalent, but historically Lidl's reputation has been even more mixed than Cerveny's was; so I think it remains to be seen if they will be high quality instruments or not.
I think their main problem wasn't quality of manufacture, but of design. They had some good models but a lot of their instruments were holdovers from the communist-era and perhaps not the best playing instruments out there.
I liked the euphonium a lot. There are other instruments in the same price range I liked more, but it wasn't bad.--

I'll bet the full story is interesting, because I'm confused. Might be new ownership or emerging from restructuring.--
