Hi, this is my first thread on this forum.
I have been a proud owner of a Miraphone 1291 for about a year-and-a-half now, and I have been pleased with its performance and cosmetics.
When I purchased the horn, I was also given a replacement 4th-valve loop because of water-spotting that had occurred. This extra piece of hardware looked like it had been shipped directly from the factory, which led me to wonder:

1. If other parts of my Miraphone had similar cosmetic defects, how would I get in contact with the company about obtaining a new part?
2. Is there any way that I would be able to actually buy replacement parts for this horn? I'm referring to basic parts of hardware, not anything like a bell, pipe, or valve.

If anyone has any help for me, or would like to share an experience with Miraphone service, it would be greatly appreciated.
I am eager to hear your responses, and to restore my tuba so that it may look as good as it has sounded for me.

Dillons, Brasswind or Ferguson Music should be able to help, or contact them directly: info@miraphone.de" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

Thank you very much, Eric!
I will post the results of this as soon as possible.

I have always purchased spare Miraphone parts from Badger State Repair, but never for the newer models. Miraphone parts are, however, obtainable (and likely to fit) to a greater extent than most models.
