There's the answer to your original question. I don't think I would make the investment into the leadpipe and dogleg just to reinvent a Miraphone. Of course... if there was a dramatic improvement over a REAL Miraphone CC... it might make sense.bloke wrote:All joking aside...
If someone were to cut a 186Bb to C, match up the tapers, and replace the mouthpipe and tuning slide dogleg with the C parts from Miraphone, and shorten the valveset, I'd wager that it would play just fine.
