Edit:

Booking out trip to Berlin this week. Any good tuba stuff in the city that I have to see?

Will be trying to see the Berlin Philharmonic while we're there too!

:tuba:

Okay, took me an extra week to book our trip, but officially going to Berlin for a week in mid-December.

Any must-see tuba "stuff" (performances, music shops, etc...)?

Isn't the Gronitz factory around there?

They're in Hamburg. About 3 hours by car, so a little less by train. Probably a little far for a day-trip though I'll never be closer! :)

If I were going to Germany, I'd stop in Mainz to play some Alexanders, go to Hamburg to play Gronitz horns, visit Markus Theinhart and make a pilgrimage to the B&S factory. THEN, I 'd head to Switzerland to Hirsbrunner & go meet Willi Kurath. If I were going... Oh, yeah. I go hear the Berlin Phil!

Definitely going to see the Berlin Phil. Might not get to do the tuba tour of Germany, not on this trip at least. :)

Any good music stores in the city?
