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.

A little goes a long way
The first thing I noticed was the scent, which I would think others would also find appealing. When I used it, I was happy to find that a little product went a long way. Although this is a liquid soap, it felt like a bar soap on my skin. For me, it did a great job at cleaning and deodorizing my skin.

Great Detox Body Wash
Been using this once a week for about a month and it works great. Skin feels detoxed after and stripped of the nasty oils but not over stripped like a lot of products out there. My skin remained soft and smooth after and felt truly cleaner and fresher. Like I mentioned I only use it once a week personally but I don't see where it would be a problem to use it more frequently if you want to. Its another great product from an already outstanding company !

Tree Tea Body Wash
It does its job of decreasing ringworm and body flake skin itch. I need to give more time to make it work. Patience is the key. It has strong scents of Tea Tree Oil. After rinsing them off for a couple of minutes, it gives a clean rubbery feeling to it. Make sure you moisturize your skin after the shower bath.

Stick caused breakout on face and neck
This is a wonderful product but be wary if needing it for face and neck. It immediately caused blocked pores where pores were smaller.
