Hi-
Is this a PT-16 clone??? It is not a Wessex Brahams, and not the old 6v JinBao F...

I noticed it yesterday, and I have sent them an email about it, I will post what they reply when I get it. Im curious how it plays, it appears to be a PT9/12/16 clone and similar to a Wessex Strauss with the 6th valve.

Email requesting more information turned into "it's a great horn, you will be impressed with the quality" not helpful... next email is asking for the specs and such.

I'd wait until a more reputable distributor carries it. Jimlabbs customer service is non existent. In reply for the specs they'll just tell you that it's an f tuba made of BRASS, with six valves.
