Oooh I'd love this but shipping to the UK is probably not sensible :(

I love those older Miraphones. Something was lost when they went to the thicker metal and bigger bell. But, that tuba is way too pretty for me - I would be afraid to take it out of the house.

I have no idea if you're serious...but...
If you find someone within an hour of me (example: Memphis, Tennessee) that will handle the shipping, tell me what they quote you - and we can talk.
If required, :arrow: I DO have pallets and a banding machine.
Thanks Joe,

I'm in the middle of a set of house sale/purchase transactions and I would certainly be dead serious if things work out the way I'm hoping. If it's still around when the transactions are complete I'll certainly look into who might be able to assist with shipping for me from your side of the pond.
