Closeout - final sale

Here we have a large 6/4 size five valve piston CC tuba called the Kaiser Model.  It's similar to the Hirsbrunner Grand Orchestra tuba, the Meinl Weston Baer and the Yorkaha tuba. Alan Baer actually won the New York Philharmonic position and several others on this model PCK tuba. The Gronitz PCK has been played by many professionals worldwide. Gronitz tubas are handmade in Bavaria, Germany in a small shop owned by Andreas Klingspor. The tubas are built to order and are hand assembled the old way.  This big tuba is also fairly light - 24.9 lbs., being made mostly of sheet brass bows rather than heavier bows made from tubes.  You can see the bottom bow seam when looking down into the bell  The PCK has a velvety smooth tone, and it's the easiest to play large tuba that you can find.  This design defines the modern orchestral sound.  Despite its large size, it's a very versatile tuba and is useful for smaller ensembles as well as large ones. I thought Gronitz piston valve tubas, including the PCK, now have MAW pistons as standard.  But on this one I dont see the distinctive D-shaoed airway so I don't know.  Maybe that's an F tuba feature? MAW pistons are a proprietary design by Martin Wilk for smoother air routing through the pistons.  Either way the pistons are made by Meinlschmidt in Germany. 

Includes top loading Supersac gig bag from Gronitz.  Mouthpiece sold separately.  PT size Euro receiver.  This one has a few tarnish spots I didnt wipe off for the new photos, it's been sitting in its gig bag for some time. I'll give it the full monty before shipping.

Would buy again

These wipers are fantastic. They were easy to install and conformed to the windshield perfectly. Did a great job wiping the rain away. Best thing of all is they lock into place on the wiper arm.

Great price, easy install; fit
Size: 25" 22" 15"
Great price, easy install; fit My Volkswagen Tiguan 2023 S. Glad I waited for next day delivery instead of going to autozone where comparable wipers cost $45 and that was WITH two coupons!! It would have been $60 without. The ONLY thing that could be better is warning you to make sure when you’re pressing in the wiper that you hold it from the very top or else your finger will slam down into the trap part and it will hurt like heck and make you bleed (personal experience this afternoon…) Otherwise great. Took off one star for that but maybe Im the only person thats ever happened to? (Im doubtful.) its not directly related to the product itself but just would be a helpful tip for ANY windshield wipers to include!
