Selling my Schiller Chinese 5-valve rotary silver C tuba, a copy of Miaphone 186. I bought this a couple of years ago to bridge the gap between ownership of actual Miraphone tubas. I was expecting to use this for 6 months but logistics got complicated and I've now used it with several pro orchestras on Tchaik 4 and 6, Neilsen Inextinguishable, Rachmoninov symphonies and operas, Britten, etc., and it's been appreciated by brass and string sections across the board. I'm selling because logistics have simplified so that I have now finally purchased a Miraphone C tuba once again. I've had some mods done, including installing a rock-solid third valve pull ring. I also played this tuba in the interviews for the one-year and tenure-track positions at UT.

Altieri gig bag is used and comes with the tuba.

MTS hard case fits this tuba and 186's great. I used it to fly to perform with the New Mexico Philharmonic several times last year. It was great protection for the tuba and is still in excellent condition.

Photos coming in a few days. Find the video of me playing "Endearing Young Charms" on YouTube; that's this instrument.
