Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

That sousaphone wasn't built by Miraphone. That is a tuba built for the old California "Mirafone" distributors by someone else. It is substandard to Miraphone standards. The valve section doesn't look like Miraphone work, does it? No. That's the giveaway.

Looks like a czech valve section to me.

....but somebody will buy it.

Similar to a Cerveny helicon valve-set, isn't it?
