For anyone interested, I will be playing Britten's War Requiem in Carnegie Hall thursday(11/11) 8pm. I will be playing a new Miraphone 1291 in the Orchestra of St. Luke's and a huge chorus. Come check out how this horn projects.

Piston or rotary? Assuming CC. I don't know if they project any differently or not. Not that I can be there, but curious.

there is a development project underway at Miraphone to build and test a rotary valve version of the 1291 CC tuba. At this time it is a bit out on their schedule as they are bringing in the new F tuba, the Firebird 281, in the Spring and the Norwegian Star Eb around the same time.

I expect the usual incredible workmanship and creative development that Miraphone has demonstrated time and time again to be very evident in this trial project.

Have a great one!

Oooooooooooooh...........

Will the firebird be a classic?

Will it be technologically advanced?

Will it have 'wicked' fast response?

How will it handle?

At least somone will pick this line up since GM decided to drop it.
