I am selling the PT20 because I can't really reach the valve slides to adjust the pitch while I play, If I reach over the top crook I am really tense in the shoulders and if I reach through the top two crooks there really isn't enough room to move the slides quickly. I am not sure I am selling it though. If someone offers to pay what I ask, I might. I am also thinking of just getting some custom work done to it. The second valve slide is really too long (needs to be cut) and maybe someone could rig a slide trigger somewhere to get at the slides easier. Also, the valves have quite a long throw but maybe I haven't given myself enough time to get used to the horn. (I've played on a rotory CC tuba for about 10 years) Just not sure.
