Good afternoon tuba community,
Here I have for sale a very unique tuba outfit with all the bells and whistles. It is a BBb Mirafone from the 1980s with 5 valves (long 23 combination). It definitely has that unmistakable colorful vintage Mirafone sound. The (factory) addition of the 5th valve does not dampen the sound at all. It produces a very lively and vibrant sound with an even scale and response. If you have played one of these, all that goes without saying. Cosmetically it is in good shape for its age... She's a beaut! It has a few scars from bell rolling, but nothing too severe.
This outfit includes the following:
-Tuba
-Both upright and recording bells
-Glen Cronkite gig bag
-TWO custom shipping trunks
Dimensions for each trunk: Gray 2'W x 3'L x 3'H
Black 3'10"L x 1'8.5"W x 1'7.5"H
Price for everything is $4,500. Looking to preferably deal locally here in Houston because of the trunks. Otherwise buyer pays Greyhound shipping. I am selling this tuba for a friend who is no longer pursuing music. If I had the bread, this would be mine! It is a very unique tuba with a distinct and colorful sound. Thanks for looking. Photos are in the link below. Please let me know if you have any questions.
