STOLEN: Gronitz PCK & Meinl Weston 2250

[The Brass Gamer]

Hey gang, as is expected I am freaking out. I'm currently in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area and BOTH of my tubas were stolen from my trunk in the night.

Gronitz PCK: 6/4 CC tuba in lacquer. It is aging with worn gold lacquer and some dents. Small logo on the bell with a 37365 serial on the inner side of the 2nd valve casing. It has a titanium Baer mouthpiece that I keep plugged into it and a green and brown Messina Covers case with my name embroidered in the small pouch "Travis John Snyder" It has custom sewn brown leather slide catches and a slightly twisted handle extension for the 3rd slide. Purple finger buttons as well.

Also on that case is my slightly rusted Baltimore Brass tuba rest.

Meinl Weston 2250: F tuba, absolutely gorgeous, honestly other than needing a shine and a dent in the bottom bow right side you'd think it was factory. Serial number 13305 on the lead pipe. There are no alterations to stock, factory gig bag, there is a Baer symphony plugged into it and a Baer solo in the case's top pouch. There is also a hand sewn custom oil bag bearing my good buddy's name "Seth Clancey" There is one velcro slide catch on the 1st slide.

I have filed a police report, but St. Paul police said up to 5 business days to get it processed and receive a report number.

Please please please, if you're from the area, know anything, or have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Thank you all for your time. Below is an album of photos from them both including serial numbers and locations.

Thanks again,
Travis

Hey! Yes it is, he's constantly changing descriptions, price, and platform. I'm working with the police, Reverb, and the thief himself (albeit in a one-sided affair) "Leo Gilbert Wana III" to recover it. Please continue to keep an eye out as we try to get him!!!
