Re: GDR era Perantucci F tuba
It could potentially be a 2 whole tone 5th valve, but I have seen this set up before on this era when someone got a replacement.

Ok, it just looked drastically different from the standard 5th valve setup.russiantuba wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 6:42 pmIt could potentially be a 2 whole tone 5th valve, but I have seen this set up before on this era when someone got a replacement.

Re: GDR era Perantucci F tuba
Yeah, it looks like the standard 5th-valve slide would fit there fine.russiantuba wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 6:42 pmIt could potentially be a 2 whole tone 5th valve, but I have seen this set up before on this era when someone got a replacement.
I wonder what the bore is for the 1st and 5th valves--was this a PT-10 where those valves were enlarged from the Symphonie dimensions?

Re: GDR era Perantucci F tuba
I think any GDR-era horn with the "Perantucci" moniker has the larger bore. Some of them had interchangeable leadpipes, though.Rick Denney wrote: Tue Jul 07, 2026 12:08 pmYeah, it looks like the standard 5th-valve slide would fit there fine.russiantuba wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 6:42 pmIt could potentially be a 2 whole tone 5th valve, but I have seen this set up before on this era when someone got a replacement.

Re: GDR era Perantucci F tuba
I had one of these when I was in college. Awesome horn and it had the interchangeable slides for the sharp minor third as seen in the picture, or the flat whole step for the fifth valve.
