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.

Well --- I have heard that

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!

Will the firebird be a classic?

Will it be technologically advanced?

Image

Will it have 'wicked' fast response?

Image

How will it handle?

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