Bump for a very nice playing PT-10 style FF tuba. Very efficient playing, robust sounding instrument with outstanding hardware. Plays easy below the staff.
Spent 2 hours last week comparing this horn to a friend's Mirafone and my PT-10. We both agreed that it is an excellent horn for the price.
Pictures to come tomorrow.

Re: John Packer 379FF FS
Did someone miss their cue to begin a fascinating discussion about F vs. FF and the appropriate nomenclature?

Re: John Packer 379FF FS
I think that you started the nomenclature conversation. Bass vs contra -bass?

No indeed. I was just sure one or two individuals who always seem to chime in about it might have done so by now.vurltuba wrote:I think that you started the nomenclature conversation. Bass vs contra -bass?
