I've had a lot of interest but still no offers, much to my surprise, as I have reduced the price on my B&S PT6 that I am regretfully selling. This is a great example and I can provide references from other professional players, including one of the top US pros, to verify its fine playing qualities.

B&S-Perantucci model 3098 PT6 CC tuba with bag and flight case
5/4 size
5 rotary valves
Graduated bore 19-21mm (0.748-0.827")
Bell diameter 480mm (19")
Height 102cm (40")
asking: $US6500.00 + shipping
recommended retail price for the tuba alone in the US is $8900.00

This is an excellent example of a great tuba. Sound, intonation and response are all first-class. Valves and linkages are quiet and quick. Photos are available to be emailed.

Chosen second from a batch at the factory in 1996. It is in great condition - aside from some lacquer wear there is only one dent to speak of. It has been maintained and played professionally all of its life. My asking price includes the factory original gig bag and aluminium flight case.

I am selling it because I need to finance the purchase of a 1938 factory-original CC York. If I could afford to, I would keep both.
