Walter Nirschl Eb tuba...does it still exist??

Hello all!
I remember about 7 years ago at the Army Conference in DC, trying out a tuba by Walter Nirschl that was a front-action, 4-piston 1 rotary valve Eb. I remember I loved the sound of it....rich, clear and crisp...but I was really unfamiliar with Eb's at the time (hell, I was still amazed that anything beyond a BBb even existed). I haven't seen one since. Anyhow...the sound of that horn stuck with me and I was wondering if Nirschl still makes this horn, or not, or....anyone know anything more about this one?
