Hello,
I have some question about the rotor cap.
When the Miraphone engraved the caps?
Which the details can proof if the specific model is a original Miraphone?
Following some pictures that I found on google.
Cheers

Re: Question about Miraphone
That first tuba is def. not a Miraphone. The other tubas look like a mix of Meinl, Miraphone and Amati/Cerveny parts. Weird. You can see where repair work was done on them,
probably using parts from other tubas.

Re: Question about Miraphone
Yes there were three valve Miraphones. They do not make many of these now.
The second picture reminds me of a Miraphone CC tuba I once played that had an extra tuning slide which changed the pitch to BBb. That is what this picture looks like to me.

Which details of the body I can identify that isn't a Miraphone?
Thanks

Re: Question about Miraphone
I found this ad and the horn is similar of the third picture.

My doubt is: which details can we see if the horn is a Miraphone or not?
