Sanders Tubas
“The Sanders line of BBb tubas is an excellent choice for junior high and high school students. For an economical, high quality educational instrument, I do not believe there are better quality b tubas available than the Sanders line of Etude, Conservatory, and Imperial tubas.

Tuba intonation, especially in the lower register, is always improved with a purchase of a four-valve model. In conjunction with the service from Custom Music, the band director has a great resource for outstanding tubas.”

Sanders & Hans Mueller Tubas & Euphoniums
“These tubas and euphoniums are essential to the success of the director’s program. The best value and quality for much less cost than other brands make Sanders & Hans Mueller instruments a very practical consideration.

Sanders Etude
This instrument is the perfect ¾ size tuba. It was designed especially for Elementary and Junior High School instrumental music programs under the influence and guide of Professor Daniel Perantoni of Indiana University. (Worldwide Tuba artist and educator). The Sanders Etude features a 15 ¼” inch bell, 3 or 4 rotary valves with solid construction that is very durable and designed for easy repair. The rotary valves with the uniball linkage are a great advantage with younger students with smaller hands.

This tuba features fantastic intonation and even quick response throughout the entire register. The large bore gives a relatively big sound that will provide a solid bass to any band.

Sanders Imperial
This tuba is a 4/4 full size concert tuba which features a 16 ½” bell, four rotary valves, .750 bore and open wrap valve slides for an easy free blowing characteristic. This tuba has the great intonation and even response throughout as required by our professional staff. “No need for alternate fingerings” is our motto. The construction is very solid and durable and easily repaired.

“The Sanders Imperial was designed to have the wonderful sound of the famous open wrap Alexander tuba yet with fantastic intonation. This instrument blows easily in every register, and responds quickly to give precise control from the softest to the loudest dynamic. The result is a professional sound instrument which is fun to play at a low budget price!”

Sanders Conservatory
This model features a shorter compact design, 4 rotary valves with deluxe unibal linkage and open wrap slides. It has a .750” bore and a 17” bell. This instrument is extremely easy to hold and is a perfect instrument for the modern High School concert band or Wind Ensemble players. The construction is very solid and durable and easily repaired. The Sanders Conservatory is a quality instrument at a modest price.

“The Conservatory Model was made to produce the conventional German quality sound in a more compact design. It responds especially quickly with excellent intonation. The Conservatory fits every need from delicate solo playing to a rich and fundamental sound required by the Best bands and Wind Ensembles.”

Sanders Euphonium
“I would recommend the intonation of this instrument over that of any student line horn on the market today. The Sanders euphonium blows freely in all ranges and produces a very good characteristic tone. It maintains its sound in all dynamic levels and is distinct and clear in any size ensemble.”

“The Sanders intermediate/semi-professional model is a reliable instrument for any school system. The workmanship is excellent. This will be a real attraction to the band directors shopping for new horns for their schools.

Sanders Euphonium
“The sound throughout the range of this instrument is excellent. For an intermediate model euphonium, the intonation is very good. Any beginning and intermediate student would find it impossible to find a horn as good as this at such reasonable prices.”

“This horn is light weight, well put together, and comes with a sturdy wood or plastic case. It is perfect for schools and for students who want to have their own horn to work with so they can advance faster. I am convinced that this is one of the best non-compensated euphoniums on the market.”

B&S Perantucci PT-606P
“Upon playing the PT-606P, I knew I had to have this instrument. I had never (to that point) played an instrument that made me want to stop at nothing to get it. I have never played on a more responsive instrument.

B&S Perantucci PT-606P
“The response of this instrument is stunning. From the softest pianissimo to the most bombastic fortissimo, the instrument holds together and performs in a way that is hard to describe. I never expected to come across an instrument that has the capacity to shake the walls in the low register, yet skip around like a much smaller instrument in higher passages. I think comfort while performing is an underrated aspect of a tuba’s value.”

B&S Pernatucci PT-6
“The PT-6 combines lovely, deep tone with a gentleness that’s unique to the large tubas I’ve tried. There’s a soft core in its’ sound allowing it to blend beautifully with other instruments, especially strings.
If you’re looking to buy a fine large orchestral CC tuba, I recommend the PT-6.”

Dave Kirk
Principle Tuba
Huston Symphony Orchestra

B&S PT-605
“The PT-605’s sound has a rich color in the best German tradition, the response is smooth and even over the entire range, the low register is highly efficient and the upper middle and high register particularly secure. Indeed, the scale is exemplary in terms of intonation, tonal balance and response, all combined in an outwardly compact and easy to handle package.”

B&S Perantucci PT6 & PT6-P
“The PT-6 and 6P and truly remarkable tubas. In comparison to other 5/4 and 6/4 tubas, “B&S” Perantucci are in a class by themselves. They exemplify all qualities essential for the playing of symphonic literature, which include evenness of sound, clarity, and intonation.

“B&S (Perantucci) tubas are wonderful handcrafted instruments, made with durable and strong materials. They are constructed to last years and years in performing or symphonic situations.”

B&S Perantucci PT-15
“After many years of searching, I have selected the PT-15 from B&S (Perantucci) as my instrument of choice. This finely crafted F tuba presents an uncompromising beauty of sound, offering ease and agility in solo and chamber music performance. The PT-15 delivers full tone with great power and precise definition. Give this versatility under all circumstances, I’m pleased to endorse this highest quality instrument.”

B&S Perantucci PT-7P
“The PT-7P allows me to produce the clarity and power needed to play in a large scale orchestra without the extra effort or problems.”

Sterling-Perantucci Euphonium
“The Sterling Perantucci has been designed and made to meet the highest standards required by the most demanding euphoniumist. The sturdy construction, and the quick, precise valves caught my immediate attention. This euphonium is a focused, and free blowing instrument. It has a centered sound with very good intonation throughout all registers. The Sterling euphonium offers a wide range of playing styles. It has the ability to play very soft for the most sensitive chamber playing, yet it can still play with a focused loud sound to play over the largest concert bands.”
