we know that you, as a professional musician, depend in your daily work to a great extent on an instrument that will meet your high standards in every situation.

When it comes to meet these demands, we as manufacturer of professional brass wind instruments are your reliable partner - with our experience since 1810.

Even our standard models in their diversity and their variations go far beyond other offers on the market, and we are confident that you will quickly find the model you are looking for.

Our instruments and accessories are sold exclusively through selected retailers. Your local dealer (see here for our worldwide dealer network) will offer a wide selection of our most popular models for testing.

Should this offer not be sufficient for your needs, there is also a possibility to test our instruments in our showroom in Geretsried referring to your preferred dealer.

Please get in touch with us directly to arrange a personal appointment in the showroom so we can assure the instrument(s) you are interested in will be ready to test (and not out being shown on an exhibition).

All instruments in the showroom are instruments that are always kept here for testing, demonstration and exhibition and therefore they are not available for sale.

If you ordered your tuba with ergonomic modifications or more specialized features, going beyond our regular scope of supply, e.g. such as special triggers, which you want to test personally at our house we offer to do this before the final finishing and surface treatment (lacquering/silver plating) at Geretsried.

Surely you will understand that this approach and the very individual way of production, together with additional support at our house is more time-consuming and involves additional costs.

When the unfinished instrument is tested, due to the increased handling time and effort, we are charging a flat rate, as listed below, and through the retailer:

Providing and testing at Geretsried: 259€ (incl. 19% VAT)

Maybe you would like to test your instrument in detail at your usual rehearsal and concert hall environment and / or with the orchestra and your brass colleagues, and test it even longer than it would be possible at Geretsried.

We, of course, fully understand this and offer an alternative:

Providing, testing and taking the instrument with you for up to three weeks: 525€ (incl. 19% VAT)

These lump sums already include the cost of the inevitable renewed dismantling of all valves and slides, as well as their reinsertion after surface treatment. Additional changes and modifications (and any shipping costs if necessary) will be charged on a time and material basis.

In each case you will get the invoice from your dealer.

After testing the unfinished instrument we still need about 4 weeks for polishing, lacquering (or silver plating) and the final completion and delivery.

If you have any further requests, to customize your chosen instrument, or modify it individually, for example through personal ergonomic adjustments or any kind of intonation aids (triggers), please don't hesitate to contact us.  Please call us for individual consultation.
