Sold - B&S PT6

[Colby Fahrenbacher]

It's taken me over six months, but it is finally time to put my old PT6 up for sale. I've replaced it with a B&S MRP CC that I purchased last summer, and I haven't played my PT6 since. This horn was built in 1995 and originally purchased by Dave Hartung. I am the third owner of this instrument and have owned it since 2007. This has been a wonderful instrument to play for the last 13 years. It was the instrument that I won my audition for the USAF Heritage of America Band on, and I played it frequently during my seven years with the Air Force Bands. This is a wonderful PT6 that feels lighter and sounds more colorful than modern versions.

Since purchasing it, a few modifications have been made.
- pull ring added to the first valve slide for easy access
- slide stop rod added to the first valve slide to prevent the overzealous tuba operator from yanking the slide out entirely while playing
- first valve slide adjusted to allow faster slide movement while playing
- pull ring added to bottom crook of the fifth slide to allow for easier removal of slide

Included with the instrument:
- B&S Supersac gig bag
- fifth valve slide extension to put fifth valve into minor third mode (if you're into that sort of thing)
- leather guard wrap for the bell section near the thumb ring (haven't used it in over 10 years)

Instrument was recently serviced by myself at the brass repair shop that I currently work at. Rotary valves feel great and valve alignment is spot on. Silver plating is still in good shape, although there are a few hard to see spots where previous ultrasonic baths have removed a bit of plating.

I'll provide pictures at some point when I get around to it. It's taken me six months to write this post, so it may be another six more.

Asking $9,750. Instrument is located in the Chicago northwest suburbs. Feel free to private message me here or email me directly at c.fahrenbacher@gmail.com" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank if you are interested or have any questions.

Bumperoni for this great PT6. Have had some interest, but this horn is still available for sale.

Now that things are opening up and it is a bit safer, here is a bump for a price reduction on my PT6.
