Does anyone have any older 4 (or more ) valve BBb horns that theyd like to trade for a Mirafone 186 5uc? Id like to stick with a BBb, CC, or an EEb, but what id really like is one of the Moster BBbs from like the...30s and 40s (like yorks and conns). i dunno, my horn may not be worth what they are. ive never really priced a good. one. but if anyone is interested just tell me. I have a conn 20j from our band and i love it, but its not mine and they wont let me play it because the bell points forward ( )

Shouldn't this be in the For Sale section?

yeah, it probly sohuld be...Thanks Bob. Im gonna go check that out. sounds pretty awsome.

well, i emailed them. I guess we'll find out. I'm looking at the 4 valve 1914 Conn.

I think they also have some older big 4 front valve Bb Conns.

I'm looking for an F now...I WISH I could spring for an F AND that Eb...it looks oh so yummy!

i know. Its massive. think of how well itd resonate with itself much less the whole band. and the bell would spread the sound out good to....wow. but, i dont know if i want an Eb. right now im working on a deal for a Getzen cb50 but this is my back up.

My old Conn 28J is on consignment at Dillon's Music in New Jersey. It's the custom job on their used tuba list, silver bugle and gold tubing. 5/4 size horn, 4 retrofitted Martin or Selmer valves. It doesn't look like so much, but it is one sweet horn. I can't take your 186 in trade, but maybe they can. Let me know if you're interested. Dave A

Andrew,

I'm interested in the 186. Would you send pictures and other particulars to me georgemiklas at gmail dot com
