A few years ago I visited Gronitz to try out some of his tuba's.
I played on a C and a Es tuba.
They sounded wonderful,played well allover.

Huub, by the way,looking for another tuba now?
In to Gronitz? :D

hello Huub,

sorry it took so long to reply.
In the last weeks I had almost no time to visit this forum.
About my Cd:The first 5 pieces are recorded now.
In may and june we hope to record the rest of the Cd.
Lets hope the recording will come out in November. I promise you that by the time I let you know.
The first part of the recordings where held in december.
We recorded Elegy, a new piece for solo tuba written by Ben Haemhouts.Air on a g string and Badinerie (Bach recorded with trombone 4) and 2 new pieces for tuba/cimbasso with jazz ensemble.

Hope to hear from you again,

Greetings

Gronitz Eb vs. Willson?

Post by Steve Inman »

Has anyone played both the Gronitz Eb and the large piston 5V Willson (model 3400), to offer comparison impressions?

Thanks,
