Now it´s too late: I´m quite satisfied with my new BBb, sold the CC and am not looking back anymore.
Hey Hans, Pleased you are getting on so well with your Willson! I am sure that someone else will want my 'old' stellar Neptune if I do decide to sell :wink:

No, but it got my attention.
I visited Gronitz in july, but there were no BBb tubas there to try.
I was thrilled to try the PBK or BZK, but too bad...
When I saw the Gronitz advertized on the tubaforum, I thought it was the kaiser model first, but it's the smaller one (4/4).
Let us know how it plays !
