B&S Perantucci PT-10P FF Tuba

Often copied, but never equaled, the concept of the PT-10 is not simply the basic design of the B&S Perantucci ‘FF’ tuba line.  For over 40 years, its design has set the standard for sound and response and influenced generations of tuba players all over the world.

Design innovations, such as a short leadpipe, split-level 5th or 6th valve, progressive bore valve section and tapered main tuning slide have resulted in the unique design of all B&S Perantucci ‘FF’ tubas.  These innovations produce remarkably big and efficient instrument with exquisite tonal qualities, and excellent response and scale.
