I dont have a PT-6 but i have a miraphone 188, which has a not too dissimilar sound. When playing in quintetts or high work i use a Besson 983 Eb. It is a nice light instrument with a full, yet bright sound. It is a paradox of an instrument, as besson is only really popular hear in UK because of the long standing arrangements with the 1000's of brass bands, yet this instrument is a front action piston valve, so not played in the brass bands, hence you can get a damn good discount off a new one.
