WTT Piston Miraphone CC 1291 for Rotary Valve CC Tuba

Post by tubaxanperks »

Hey folks!

I’m looking for a possible trade of my Miraphone CC 1291 for something similar with rotary valves. I REALLY love this tuba but my fingers need a break from the heavy piston valves. At some point I feel like I’m going to ruin my valves because my fingers are wanting to do weird stuff. Yes I could teach my fingers to be more efficient in pressing down the valves but I’m just looking into this option.

Thanks,

You might try a set of Yamaha euphonium valve springs. It may solve your problem. I use them in my 1293 and they work great. Phil
