FS: Mirafone/Miraphone 186-4U CC tuba (North Carolina)
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 10:27 pm
I purchased this horn last year from the original owner. There are a few dings, but considering it is 50+ years old its still in great condition. The only possible major issue is some red rot that, from what I can tell, is isolated to the lead pipe. I had it professionally cleaned and serviced at Charlotte Band Instrument Service, and since then it probably has less than 20 hours of play time. I purchased it thinking I could easily retrain myself to play C, but alas my limited time and 23 years' worth of muscle memory made that tougher than I'd like.

I'm happy to get any additional photos you may want. All you have to do is ask!
Includes original hard shell case and BBb conversion slide (though I didn't much care for it -- it made the horn stuffy and of course the intonation was off).
Asking $3200. Not interested in shipping at this time. Located in Lincolnton (northwest of Charlotte), NC. Willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet buyer. Happy to let you toot around on the horn for a bit before purchase provided you can find a suitable location or can come to me. Payment via cash or Paypal F&F after you've inspected the horn.
