Just testing the water to see if anybody wants to trade their B&S piston PT-6, PT-7 or piston "Neptune" for my rotary Neptune. What few dents that are on there are very small. These is some wear to the gold lacquer. The rotors move fairly fast. I have a T-bar pull on the main slide; a bar and thumb ring pull on the first valve slide (otherwise it's hard to get to), and - best of all - a factory installed trigger handle to kick out the second valve slide (works great!). In my experience, this tuba definitely responds better to more funnel, Helleberg like mouthpieces. It has a very nice Superfine cordura gig bag (two tone: rust and white, more or less).

I would be happy to hear of other trade proposals. It needs to be a piston (5 valve) CC, and it has to be something I can play vertically - not pointing sideways. Therefore, I'm not really interested in York copies. I don't want the giant Meinl pistons either.

I'm located on the central California coast. Photos available for serious inquiries only. Naturally, I would prefer to drive and meet than to ship.

Hey Barry! Does this have both leadpipes? If not, which one does it have?

I have nothing to trade, just curious. And I haven't seen a rotary Neptune in quite a while!

Yes, I have both pipes. Right now the smaller one is attached.
