FS: PT-605 BBb Tuba (Updated - Price and Terms)

[CollinT1130]

I am selling a B&S Perantucci PT-605 4/4 BBb tuba. It was originally purchased in 2005 or 2006. I just got the instrument back from the repair shop for a cleaning. It is in very good condition (a few minor dents/scratches from typical high school/college use), with no mechanical issues. It comes with an MTS hard case, a gig bag/soft case, and a Perantucci PT-83 mouthpiece.

I am asking for $7000, but am open to reasonable offers. I am not looking for a trade.

I live in the southwest Michigan area, and am willing to negotiate delivery/shipping/price for a serious buyer.

FYI, I think you need to change the permissions on your Google Drive files for folks to see them.

Thank you. It has been changed.

These are exceptional tubas! Nice sound, good intonation, excellent response, killer low range and great ergonomics!

Highly recommended!

This is for our safety.

You need to post more so that we can get an idea of who you are. We don't like buying from people who are "nameless and faceless". We have had issues with people signing up to sell one thing, ripping someone off, then disappearing. This is an attempt to minimize risk to our community.

This is not a Facebook "buy and sell" group. We DO have a lively trade going on here, but the community is the main thing. If you want to buy or sell here you need to try to let us get to know you some. If all you want to do is sell something Facebook has a lot of tuba-specific groups with zero social interactivity. This is a social group that focuses on all aspects of the tuba and euphonium. The sales forums are just one aspect of what goes on here.

Please participate in the many threads that are going on. Post one of your own. Be a part of our community. Welcome!

I totally get that, and don't fault it at all. I was just putting a disclaimer so someone doesn't send me a private message, and won't get a response from me. I shall get more involved in the community! Thank you!

I'm thinking that's below dealer cost from a dozen years ago (back when there were dealers...and without that case and bag).

I played an early one of those...good.

Isn't your price also in the same price range as the Chinese knockoff?

I got the horn from Tuba World near Detroit back in 2005 for $6000.

Yes, it is a good horn.

I have no knowledge of Chinese knockoff versions of this horn, though I'm sure they exist. I think the pictures in the drive link vouch for its authenticity.

Allow me to be more clear: (with apologies)
======================================
- Your tuba looks to be in great shape, and no one is questioning what it is. (a German-made tuba)
- I (most people?) would MUCH PREFER the authentic European version in great condition vs. a Chinese knockoff new (likely priced higher than your asking price).
- It looks to me as though you have your priced to sell.

These are great tubas. This is a great price for the outfit, too.

“Bloke is correct on all points.”

Hi! The pics wouldn’t come up. Just checking to make sure the horn is still for sale!

Thanks!

Allow me to apologize, as well. I interpreted this defensively, as the talk of people trying to scam others on this site was recently brought up, and I've had to deal with two scammers on Facebook already.

She is a wonderful horn, and I am looking to re-home her to a good place. Tubas do take up a decent amount of space!

Cheers!

Yes, the horn is still for sale. I'll look into the issues with the pictures and get back to you when I think I've fixed it.

I reset the permissions on the Drive folder, so it should work now.
