Mirafone 186

Post by SinNawlins »

please send me some pix and contact info. I am interested. I live in Jackson MS and could pick it up if we reach an agreement. I know what a 5 valve 186 is but what does the uc mean?

5u in Miraphone-speak is 5 valves; a 4u would be 4 valves, etc. The c would indicate key of CC, not BBb.

I was unaware they made the 186 in a CC. All the 186's I've seen were BBb. ...learn something new every day!
Good luck.

You know. That is where you say the opposite of what you really mean, but mean the opposite of what you said...or something like that. :roll:

ok. Im sorry about the confuseion. I was gonna ask 4000 for it because of the addition of a flight case and a mute. But, if anyone is really interested, we may be able to cut a deal for $3500.

The horn? Yeah, i want a larger BBb tuba. To all those who i argued woth about the smaller horns, I'll say it...You're right. After playing the 20j again, i just can't sacrifice my low range. Theres a nice one at dillions i'm looking at now.
