Gronitz PCK - $17,000 CAD

[Buddy]

Hi everyone,

I'm attempting to sell my PCK to fund a larger purchase. Here's everything you'll need to know.

I bought the horn from Dave Fedderly in December 2018. I don’t recall exactly who the previous owner of the horn was, but to my recollection, the previous owner was a musician in “The President’s Own.” I’ve used the horn professionally, am currently using it professionally, and have had success using it in auditions.

Here’s a list of additions and modifications I’ve had done to the horn:

- I’ve added an Al Baer Piston Valve Alignment Kit.
- I’ve installed a Nirschl lead pipe.
- I’ve added lightweight springs.
- All valves on the tuba are vented.
- The 1st and 4th slides are lapped.
- I’ve added custom finger buttons courtesy of Paul’s Custom Brasswork.
- I’ve added a MAW piston block.
- I’ve had the tuba reassembled.

Because the recognition is well deserved, Pierre-Olivier Duceppe from Twigg Musique in Montreal expertly installed a MAW piston block onto the horn, and while he was at it, reassembled the horn to my liking, along with any recommendations he thought would be well suited for optimal performance. A near two-month project with regular communication that was WELL worth the wait. I believe a few photos of the project can be found on the Twigg Musique Facebook page for anyone who happens to have an interest.

I am selling the tuba and a Cronkite gig bag for 17,000 CAD, including shipping. I will also include braces that I had removed during reassembly.

The horn is currently in Winnipeg, Canada, but I travel back and forward between Montreal.

If you have the means to make the trip to Winnipeg preferably, I would prefer it to be a serious buyer, but I’d be more than happy to allow you to play-test it. I will not, however, ship the horn for a play-test, nor will I offer a trial week after purchase.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I’d be more than happy to talk logistics with any serious potential buyer. I’ll also be willing to listen to any serious offers. I am not interested in trades.

Bump. A bit of a price drop, and price changed from USD to CAD. Considering offers from serious potential buyers.
