Update: SOLD
Beautiful 4/4 compact 5 valve rotary tuba. $6,200. Got me through grad school. Best tuba I’ve ever had my hands on. This tuba packs a powerful punch for its size. Perfect for any situation. I used this in wind ensembles, orchestras, and small ensembles. I am the third owner. First owner was a professor and second and third (me) were grad students.
I really hate to sell it. I am no longer in the music world, as I’ve recently transitioned to IT. It’s in excellent working condition. Link below for pictures.

Comes with hard case, gig bag, and the legendary Parantucci PT-48 mouthpiece. Located in central Kentucky, but I am willing to travel to arrange a pickup.
Cannot stress enough how wonderful this horn is. You will fall in love.
From the TubaWorld website:
• 4/4 size tuba
• 5 rotary valves (all right hand)
• Nickel-Silver inner and outer slides

Re: For Sale: Perantucci PT4 4/4 CC Tuba
Thanks! Unfortunately, not in the budget right now.
You don't see very many of these, and to my understanding, from Bob Tucci, Is that the PT-4 was notoriously difficult to manufacture. I'm not sure exactly how, but there was some sort of difficulty that made it take much longer to build then it should, and it was much more difficult. That was the reason for the redesign and restart as the PT-20.
No detriment for the PT-4 to the player, just a manufacturing thing.
I don't think I've ever played The PT-4 and PT-20 side by side, but I like both of them. I played the precursor, the PT-3, throughout college. They play very well and yes they put out a lot more sound than you will think. The secret though, is to learn to navigate the low range to give a big full and open sound. In my experience, if you just honk away at it, it can sound constricted and choked, and overall just not so great. But once you figure it out "do this to sound like that", then you're set for life. Moreso than other tubas I've played.
Sorry I won't be able to buy it!
