Mirafone 186-4R on *b*y

[jlbreyer]

Anybody know if a detachable upright bell is available for this horn? I'm assuming the seller does not have one. If he did, I would expect him to offer it with the horn.

I think I'll send a query to Christian Niedermaier. He has graciously answered emails in the past.

If any info comes through, I'll post it here.

Here is the reply to my question. I fired back another question asking how much, or should I ask a dealer. Haven't heard back on that one, yet.

Hello,

an upright bell for the BBb 186 is available. To get sure, we must know the
outer diameter from the bellfront-ring which is pushed in the tuba and then
fixed with screws. Then it should be no problem to make an upright bell.

Tuba Greeting
