I wonder if the tuba player is me? I was stationed in Berlin during the "Fall of the Wall."
It has been 11 years since I was in Berlin, but at that time there were no stores with a large stock of new tubas, at least not in the west. There was a good repair shop that had used eastern bloc tubas for cheap near the University in what was East Berlin.
Clearly things have changed in Berlin, but one thing you can be assured of in Berlin is some GREAT tuba playing with Mark Evans (Deutche Oper).
