How much does a Mira 186 weigh?
I need to know the weight of a Mirafone 186 including the stock case. 16.5 or 17.5 probably won't matter.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Hey! Quit schlepping that horn around on your back and get yourself a shopping cart like the one our grandmas used to take to the market. I bought mine on that popular auction for less than $30. I figure the cart has already saved me a fortune on Ibuprofen... not to mention the damage the horn might have gotten from getting banged into door jambs, etc!schlepporello wrote:I don't know, and I don't wanna know. ...
Two of our tuba players also use rolling laundry carts to haul their stuff.

I have two young nephews I'm planning on using as porters. I might even get them some little uniforms...TubaTinker wrote:Hey!

There is no stock case unless you narrow it down to a relatively short period.tbn.al wrote:I need to know the weight of a Mirafone 186 including the stock case. 16.5 or 17.5 probably won't matter.
My BBb 186-4U weighs 18 pounds by itself.
