On Sunday February 16, a tuba was stolen out of a car in Oakland, California. it is a Mirafone 191-4U BBb; it looks like the one below. Serial number: 9007024. It was in a black Meinl Weston top loading gig bag. Early in it's life, this instrument sustained some bell damage, which is evident in the stretch marks in the lacquer. In the gig bag was a Clements 'Ensemble' mouthpiece. Keep your eyes out for it. A report was filed with the Oakland police. Call them if you have any idea where this instrument is. The theft occurred at a church on Park Avenue between 3:30 and 5:00 pm.

Tony,
I live in east Contra Costa county so I will keep an eye on the local tuba market in case they try to move it out here. Will also let the local band directors know.

This instrument was never recovered. Please keep your eyes out for it. The tubist is very happy with his new gold brass, five valve, 191. But we would still like to get the original instrument back. Thank you for your help on this.
