Looking for a cheap 4/4 C tuba

Post by Porky »

Hello everyone I'm looking to buy a old Miraphone 186 CC tuba or one of the Miraclones. Let me know if you have one you want to part ways with.

If you're looking for cheap, I'm not sure an old 186 is going to fall in that range -- it seems like most old 186's go for significantly more than a brand new Chinese copy.

I have a Chinese BBb Miraclone that plays very well. Great intonation. Dead ringer for the Mack Brass TU-200. In lacquer, with case, excellent condition, no dents. $1100. I can meet someone in the Eastern US.
