Two Miraphone 188 Questions

Post by pjdicris »

1. How tall is a Miraphone 188?

2. Is the serial number the series of numbers after the model name stamped on the bell?

Thank you! :tuba:

I believe it is 39 inches tall.

And yes, that is the serial number. Every 188 (or Miraphone in general) I've seen has the serial number there. It does not always have the model number, but the serial number is there.

Same height, different width.

Check out the middle two horns.
