Sold: B&S PT-15

Post by NickT01 »

Hello,

Up for sale is my B&S Pt-15. The horn is around 15 years old and still plays like brand new. This is like the PT-10 but with a larger bore. It plays beautifully in orchestras and has been my main f tuba for the last few years; however, I am looking to make the switch to pistons. Moreover, in solos, this horn really pops which gives it a great soloistic sound. The high range is unbelievable and the low range is surprisingly excellent. The intonation on the horn is also a winner as I've never had to move slides to get anything in tune. The horn comes with a brand-new red Chronkhite tuba bag, a Schlipf practice mute, and a PT-64s mouthpiece. If you want that German F tuba sound, this horn is the one for you.

Horn is located in Waco, TX. I would be willing to drive multiple hours for a serious buyer. Asking $8250. See photos of the instrument attached.

I recently sold a tuba to Nick and he was a pleasure to work with. His PT-15 is a very nice horn and would be an outstanding pickup for anyone looking for a rotary F tuba.

Just to nitpick a detail, PT-15 has the same bore as a PT-10 but a larger bell throat and a different mouthpipe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Good luck with your sale!
