looking: Boosey/Besson BBb - sell old style Mirafone 180 F

Post by kathott »

Hello,
I am looking for a good Boosey & Hawkes/Besson BBb tuba,
four valve compensating, either an Imperial or Sovereign. Condition is important. Plating type - no preference. Receiver size - no preference. I am looking a professional quality tuba, no beaters or lamp candidates. It must weigh more than a Ford Escort.

Sell or trade - old style Mirafone (serial number 2,000 series) Model 180 "F", four valve, vented 1st valve, Miraphone DVS linkage.
CONDITION - overall condition very good, no major dents, usual dings and scratches, worn lacquer.
PLAYBILITY - This tuba was used for many years in the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Canada. The sound and pitch is very good. It is a small F tuba however, keep looking if you want a tank. PHOTOS AVAILABLE :)
Thank you, Kathott
