Tuba World introduces its newest model, a large 6/4 Size "CC" tuba. Taken from classic German and American designs and available in either gold lacquer or silver plated finish, the new Perantucci PT-7 embodies maximum sound production and strength with grace and versatility. It truly qualifies as the ultimate tuba needed for todays orchestra or band performer.
The "New Sound" of the PT-7P combines the bite of the German tubas with the unique qualities of the large, dark, and powerful sound of the old Yorks that are now legend. The PT-7's sound is similar to but more amplified than the PT-6, our very successful orchestral tuba being used by Floyd Cooley, Sam Pilafian and other leading professionals.
The PT-7P piston model is made with extra wide diameter piston valves set which allows for more fundamental in the overall sound, a definite must in large ensemble orchestral and band playing.

This is a BAT. I would say that a PT-6 would be more than enough tuba for almost any ensemble. What type of ensemble are you playing in that would require such a large tuba?
