FS Miraphone Bel Canto Solo

Post by S.G.F. »

Hi, I'm putting my Bel Canto Solo up for sale, as I can't justify having 2 F Tubas and a wife, so something's gotta go. It's a nickel-plate six valve model (4+2), and has the 5th valve straightened to keep it a little more freeblowing.

Instrument comes with a Samuellsson wedge case and a Miraphone gig bag, weighs in at 27kgs (60lbs) all packed up for flights.

There are a few scuffs and one small dent, I'm happy to send more photos for anyone who's serious. There are a front and back to view here http://imgur.com/a/ksHxE" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

Price is $11,000 AUD, pickup or freight to be arranged by the buyer, instrument is located in Sydney Australia. Sorry but play testing requests will depend on location and risk factors.

*EDIT* This instrument was handpicked at the factory by Steve Rosse, Prinicpal Tuba of the Sydney Symphony and also a Miraphone artist. There are also more photos added to the imgur album and a video of the instrument in action here https://www.dropbox.com/s/iuewi9qfl49wf ... 2.MOV?dl=0" target="_blank

Please no comments on the quality of the playing unless it comes with your own video for return comments.

Also happy to cover the cost of a service (up to a point) with the technician of your choice.

PM for details.

Cheers,

S.G.F.

As of today, that is less than $7800 USD. That is a great deal for someone looking for one of these or interested in a nice 4+2 F. Plus, it's in silver which you don't see often on a Miraphone F.

Bump for Scotty.

If you're looking for a great F tuba at an even greater price, look no further! Scott's easy to work with, and I'm sure whoever snaps this up will be very happy.
