I'm sure it's a nice tuba, but noone is going to pay $22k for it. That tuba has been listed for many months now, like the nice Gronitz PCK that has also been listed for a very long time.

Not a particularly good economy/market for higher end tubas these days.

Save by buying from them directly rather than through ebay:

^ Its actually right @ twenty one grand ($20,975) on their website......and that is just for the tuba.
I would understand that more if it were a 5-valve Alex 164 BBb with an included case....

HornGuys has a nice Gronitz PCK listed for around $16k that's been sitting, and includes a bag.
They also have a nice Alexander 163 CC listed for around $15k with a nice bag/case included. Also been sitting for a while. And both of those tubas are 5 valvers...

I think it's more like, nobody can get down to Arizona to get it.
