Hi all I have a Alex/Miraphone franken F tuba with five rotors that I am looking to switch for a piston valve F tuba or Eb tuba. I am interested in the Big Mouth Brass F with the larger bell, Big Mouth Brass Eb, or similar horns. The horn is definetly a German style tuba and has the characteristic low register for rotary F tubas. The horn plays very in tune and is very nimble. Shoot me a message for more details and offers! I am located in Alma Michigan

Thanks for the comment Wade, I was unclear. It is a frankenhorn with an Alex bell section and a miraphone valce section. Pictures will be posted tomorrow!

Link works, but I see this:

"This folder is empty"

Is this the Alex/Miraphone that Norm Eppley built several years ago?

Huh pictures must not have been uploaded properly. I am not sure who did the work. I can email pictures to whoever wants them.
