Mirafone TU31/C-6/Helleburg...

Post by J.c. Sherman »

Anyone ever tried these? Are they truly a Helleburg? Do they have the Mirafone cushion rim? What are they like?

a good mouthpiece and a nice match for the 1291 CC tuba. It's not quite as deep as a Conn Helleberg. It has the wider Miraphone rim and it plays well. I think it's just a tad brighter and cleaner sounding than the Conn Helleberg.

FWIW
