Hello, one and all!
After some shuffling around, I've decided to sell my B&S PT-22p Eb tuba. This is a great model that is sadly no longer being manufactured by B&S; my only guess is that they didn't want to compete against themselves, as this is largely the same model as the Meinl-Weston 2141, but with a slightly larger bell and PT valve set. I picked out the tuba from a set of three at Custom Music in December of 2013, and I have greatly enjoyed using this instrument. It is in lacquer, and there are some small dents throughout the instrument. There is also a patch of lacquer wear at the spot where my forearm rubs against the bell--that is shown below. It comes with a B&S branded Götz Supersac gig bag, and I'll throw in a mouthpiece (particularly the one that seemed to work the best with it--a PT-72s).
Why am I selling such a great instrument, you ask? To put it simply, I have decided to go a slightly different direction, equipment-wise. I recently purchased a really great older Besson 981 Eb, and I don't see the need for two Eb tubas.
I've linked an album below of photos of the instrument, as well as a video with the instrument in action.
There are a few things to note about buying this instrument. First of all, I'd greatly prefer to hand this instrument off personally for a prospective buyer, and would be willing to drive up to 4 hours to meet up with a buyer. The horn is in Bowling Green, OH, which is for all intents and purposes a suburb of Toledo. I have a tuba carton and would be willing to ship if need be, provided the buyer covers shipping costs.
New models of this instrument (the few that are still available!) retail for $9000, and the Meinl-Weston version goes for $10500. I am asking for $6500 for the tuba, gig bag, and mouthpiece. Shipping would go on top of that price.

Hi Aaron. Did the B&S sell yet? If not, was it new in 2013?
Thanks
