Miraphone Hagen 495 vs 186 vs, 187
Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:37 pm
Hello fellow tubenetters,
So I was on the Miraphone website looking at their BBb tubas and their specs. The 186, 187 and the 495 all have the same specs for bell and vales bore, 17.7" bell and .772 bore. I know the tubing on the 187 expands more quickly than the 186 giving a slightly fuller tone. How does the Hagen compare with the 186 or 187?
A few weeks back I played a Hagen 495 at Dillons and it was very nice, but I did not have a 186 or 187 to compare.
