Re: Comparation between B&S PT-6R and Melton 25

Dear gentlemen,

Thank you for your responses on this topic. I really appreciate It.


Jose, my friend! How have you been! I need to catch up with you!

They're pretty different:

The Melton 25 is taller (about 106cm) than the PT-6 (about 100cm)
The Melton 25 has a smaller bell (450 mm) than the PT ...

Comparation between B&S PT-6R and Melton 25

Greetings,

Just curious. Both seem to be quasi same size (I could be wrong, please elaborate). Both seem to be "smaller" versions of B&S MRP and Melton 195 respectively. I own a PT6R and I would describe the sound as colorful wide and I would like to know from that perspective how a Melton 25 would ...

Possibly cutted MTS B&H 15 inc bell Tuba(?)

Greetings,

I found a B&H Eb Tuba that I may be interested but watching the pictures I found something rare. The main tunning slide seems to be chopped. I have seen sometimes that people extend the main tuning slide due to high pitched old instrument, but I don´t remember seeing them to be low ...

Re: New M/W silver 2182 F-$11,475


There’s a website, your link, and there a price list in sheet form that is circulating. Apparently, they do not match.


They sent me their price list sheet when I sent them an email asking for price on a "discontinued" horn (not that 2182W, but they sent the whole list). I suggest send them an ...

Got a quotation from Buffet tubashowroom a couple of months ago for a silver plated MW 2182W (not sure if exactly the same model) but price was 9750 USD.

Re: Yamaha 861 Info



Some of the 661 had to have been sourced from the parts bins at Yamaha, some of it was unique to the 661. I definitely think the 661 was better than the 641 BBb’s I’ve experienced!

Agreed. I have both instruments myself.
