From www.custommusiccorp.com
Specifications:
6/4 size 'CC' tuba
.787" bore for valves 1, 2, & 3, .820" 4th valve bore, .860" 5th valve
19 1/2" bell
5 valves in your choice of all rotary or 4 piston and 1 rotary
"Big Valve" group (extra wide piston) on PT-7P Piston Model
open wrap valve slides for reduced resistance to air flow
adjustable thumb ring for increased comfort
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?

I hate to be the one to have to bring this up. We don't say this on this forum. It is a BAT!Thomas Maurice Booth wrote:This is a big *** tuba.

173 is a 4/4 CC with reverse rotors making them short action. It acts like a bridge between rotors and pistons. Quirks of slurring between partials are easier on a 173.
PT-6 is a 5/4 CC with rotors or pistons. Rotor and Piston models play very differently. I love the rotor model, hate the piston model. There are many people on the other side of the fence.
The 2 are hard to compare because of the size difference.
