Gronitz PCK vs MW 6450
I'm just doing this out of curiousity but I never really seen anyone compare these two and I just wondering which one has a more broader, focused sound and which one has a greater potential of being a all purpose horn and which one would you choose?

Re: Gronitz PCK vs MW 6450
These are both really good instruments!
PCK-I found to have great intonation but, is uncomfortable to hold. I have to reach too far across my body to get to the valves (I'm not short, either). The low register is kinda thin sounding, for my taste in a a large instrument. I likes the PCM better in this application.
The 6450 is really good all the way around. I, especially, like the cleanliness of articulation, something I find harder to acheive on other 6/4 models. Players whom I have heard playing them sound great to me. I wish I could justify owning one.
