Hello.
I've decided to sell my beautiful 186. Pictures are here:

This horn was completely overhauled by our tubenet's own Dan Schultz (TubaTinker) in October 2014. The serial (located on the paddle bar) is 8055 dating the horn to 1972. It has a new bell that is slightly thicker than the miraphone factory bells and in my opinion adds a great darkness to the sound. What a beautiful sound! Very solid intonation throughout the range. All the valves are fast and quiet! I've added a removable pull ring to the third valve slide for ease of use (though I don't even need to pull it besides the pedal c). All of the slides pull very nicely. Horn comes with a sturdy wooden case which I've added casters to so it rolls nicely (just realized I forgot pictures of the case pm me if you want them).
Located in Portland Oregon. I'll ship via greyhound or amtrak if buyer pays shipping (this horn cost me 77 to have it sent from Knoxville via greyhound). You can't get a more dependably solid horn for a better price! PM if interested.
