We consider the C∗C∗-algebra ℰqn,m, which is a q-twist of two Cuntz–Toeplitz algebras. For the case |q|<1, we give an explicit formula which untwists the q-deformation showing that the isomorphism class of ℰqn,m does not depend on q. For the case |q|=1, we give an explicit description of all ideals in ℰqn,m. In particular, we show that ℰqn,m contains a unique largest ideal ℳq. We identify ℰqn,m/ℳq with the Rieffel deformation of 𝒪n⊗𝒪m and use a K-theoretical argument to show that the isomorphism class does not depend on q. The latter result holds true in a more general setting of multiparameter deformations.
