Closeout - final sale

Here we have a large 6/4 size five valve piston CC tuba called the Kaiser Model.  It's similar to the Hirsbrunner Grand Orchestra tuba, the Meinl Weston Baer and the Yorkaha tuba. Alan Baer actually won the New York Philharmonic position and several others on this model PCK tuba. The Gronitz PCK has been played by many professionals worldwide. Gronitz tubas are handmade in Bavaria, Germany in a small shop owned by Andreas Klingspor. The tubas are built to order and are hand assembled the old way.  This big tuba is also fairly light - 24.9 lbs., being made mostly of sheet brass bows rather than heavier bows made from tubes.  You can see the bottom bow seam when looking down into the bell  The PCK has a velvety smooth tone, and it's the easiest to play large tuba that you can find.  This design defines the modern orchestral sound.  Despite its large size, it's a very versatile tuba and is useful for smaller ensembles as well as large ones. I thought Gronitz piston valve tubas, including the PCK, now have MAW pistons as standard.  But on this one I dont see the distinctive D-shaoed airway so I don't know.  Maybe that's an F tuba feature? MAW pistons are a proprietary design by Martin Wilk for smoother air routing through the pistons.  Either way the pistons are made by Meinlschmidt in Germany. 

Includes top loading Supersac gig bag from Gronitz.  Mouthpiece sold separately.  PT size Euro receiver.  This one has a few tarnish spots I didnt wipe off for the new photos, it's been sitting in its gig bag for some time. I'll give it the full monty before shipping.

Strength
Model: 2019-2024 Forte
It does fit perfectly in my dash. I do wish that there was a was way to tighten the fit to the dash but other than that it does its job of holding my phone.

Only lasted a couple of weeks.
Model: 2014-2018 Forte
Was nice but after the first day, it would start to loosen and my phone would slide down. After a couple of weeks, it fell off from the car completely. It was a birthday gift so pretty disappointed.

Will not stay attached
Model: 2014-2018 Forte
I used rubbing alcohol to help it say attached. Unfortunately would not stay attached so useless. I thought of getting Velcro or some other type of product to secure it, but why should I have to work at getting it to work? I was never able to see how my phone would work as it never stayed attached

Doesn't fit 2022 forte
Model: 2019-2024 Forte
Didn't fit my 2022 kia forte. Had to cut the top of the bracket off so it could snap into place. With a little cutting and grinding I made it work.
