Starting to look for an F tuba

Post by bort »

Hi all,

I'm starting to test the water here for an F tuba...something like a Miraphone 181 maybe? (There were a few here recently that caught my eye, but before I had the cash for it.) I've been through the ads on the site here, but maybe there are some I missed or that have fallen farther back than I searched.

My budget is around $3,000.

Anyone planning on bringing something like this to USABTEC?

Thanks!

Edited my post...not sure why I put "small" in there. I think I'm losing my mind today. :)

Have you tried Mike's B&M at Baltimore Brass? Not your typical "name brand", but they built some nice horns. I haven't tried it, but I would if I were as close as you.

One more bump...let me know if you're bringing anything to the USABTEC conference later this week.

Thanks!
